Alraune

One of the strongest Plant-type monsters, and a large departure in comparison to the Dryad, this monster has a large resistance to Fire and to the Curse status, aside of being much stronger than its precessors. What it makes it particularly dangerous is its Stored Attack, which reduces the Burst Gauge to zero, prolonging the battle and making it easier for enemies to have a chance of killing your party. However, Alraunes have a rather poor HP, so try to take them down as soon as you can.
