The Ochu is an enemy in Final Fantasy X encountered along the Moonflow's South Bank Road, at the left fork when the road splits with the Temple on the right fork.

Stats[]

Battle[]

Ochu's primary attack has a high chance to cause Poison to one character, while its Ochu Dance attack can inflict Darkness, Slow, Silence, and Confuse to the entire party. It has a 33% chance of using this when below 50% HP.

Ochu will drop weapons with Poisontouch and Strength/Magic +5%. It will also drop armor with wards against many different status ailments.

Strategy[]

Ochu's HP is high compared to the damage output an average party will be able to dish out at this point in the game, so battles against it may take several turns. Lulu's Fira is very helpful.

Armor with protection against Confusion is useful to avoid having the whole party rendered uncontrollable by Ochu Dance. Protection against Darkness (for physical attackers) and Silence (for mages) is also useful.

If the player is having trouble, summoning an aeon is always an option since aeons are immune to status ailments.

Etymology[]

"Ochu" comes from Dungeons & Dragons; specifically, it is the otyugh. The name in Japanese (and transliterations) comes from the pronunciation; it is pronounced with a short O and T (practically to a ch), making the pronunciation close to "o-chuugh". "オチュー" is the closest the katakana system can get to representing the sound without using compound katakana pronunciations not natively found in Japanese.
