Grendel

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

HP: 9,500

Grendel is a Ruminant-type enemy that you can find in the Mt. Gagazet caves or along the pathway to the Zanarkand Ruins. You need to capture five of each Ruminant-type enemy to unlock Juggernaut in the Species Conquest section of the Monster Arena.

Grendel can do a fairly heavy amount of damage to your party members. The best strategy is to have Wakka use Skill IconDark Attack or Skill IconDark Buster on them to blind them, which will prevent them from landing their physical attacks.

Kimahri can use Special Ability IconLancet on a Dual Horn to learn Fire Breath for his Ronso Rage Overdrive.
