Pantopoda is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII-2. It is first fought in Serah'sdream world, although it can be found in Academia 500 AF afterward. It will also spawn together with groups of Pleuston, and should be prioritized since it employs wounding spells as well as inflicting Deshell. Their HP isn't significant and the fight should not be a difficult one. The Pantopoda is also a good farming enemy, since it may drop a Potent Booster or even a vial of Phoenix Blood.

It learns skills mainly similiar with that of the initial party, with the exception of Deshell II and Painga.
