Oilboyle is a boss in Final Fantasy VIII. Two are fought together when in Balamb Garden - MD. By Junctioning Fire to elemental attack and using Fire magic, the player can quickly defeat them. They can also draw their own magic to cure status or heal. Much later on in the game, they can be encountered in some parts of Ultimecia Castle - although only one at a time. Unlike most bosses, Quistis' Degenerator Limit Break can be used successfully against them.

[edit] Battle

Oil Blast is a counter attack used when 1/3 of Oilboyle's HP is removed. Sonic Wave targets all characters and can possibly inflict Curse.
