The Mistodon is an undead enemy in Final Fantasy IX. It is a creature born of the Mist, first encountered in the Iifa Tree when the party tracks Kuja down there. During the Battle of Alexandria, the city is overrun with the creatures. The player uses Steiner and Beatrix to battle them in set encounters, where Steiner automatically Trances. Mistodons can also be found in various Mist-covered locations throughout the world during the endgame as random encounters.
Their Mist attack can inflict Sleep and Shadow-elemental damage on the entire party. Since they are undead, a Life spell will instantly kill them, and a Phoenix Down will reduce their HP to one. They are susceptible to Quina's LV4 Holy.

Etymology[]
The monster is named after Mist, as Kuja clams to create them from it.
The original Japanese name for Mistodon, Kiri no Majuu, literally translates to "mist demon". The English name may stem from "mastodon", an extinct relative of mammoths. The Greek word odont means "tooth".
Notes[]
- ↑ Quina is not in the party to be able to eat them.
