Simurgh

Opening of the battle against a Simurgh in the Monster Arena Calm Lands

HP: 200

Simurgh is a Bird-type enemy that you can find along the Djose Highroad. You need to capture five of each Bird-type enemy to unlock Pteryx in the Species Conquest section of the Monster Arena.

Simurghs are very easy to defeat, but because it is a flying enemy, you should focus on having Wakka take them out with his Blitzball. Alternatively, have Lulu use fire-based Black Magic to take them out quickly.

Its regular attacks have a chance of inflicting Darkness (Blind). Have your party members use Eye Drops or cast Esuna to remove the status.
