Skull Dragon Script

Script: Skull Dragon (Dragon's Den)
Length: 58 bytes
AI Level: Beginner
By: Lord Envoy
Description:
This is the script from the Skull Dragon in FF6A Dragon's Den. It's design is simple and very easy to understand. It has a somewhat common enemy AI that focuses mostly on Normal Attacks and Special Attacks with some Magical Attacks that causes abnormal statuses. However, it's AI makes it immortal so no matter how many times you reduce it's HP to 0, it will reanimate again and again. It will prompt you with a message each time after it reanimates revealing the AI's only weakness, MP damage.

Battling Skull Dragon:
This monster is identical to the "Skull Dragon" found in the FF6 remake "FF6 Advance". It has about 61,000 HP and a script about 58 bytes long. I designed it just for the purpose of other players to challenge it. Especially if they don't have the FF6A game. As with the other dragons, the Skull Dragon has been upgraded as well for the Dragons' Den. This time the player must deplete all of its MP in order to kill it. If the player kills it by depleting its HP, it will simply be revived with all of it's HP. Since it has 14,000 points of MP it may take a while. Mercifully, though, since it's technically not undead, Osmose works against it. Just be sure to come protected against Status effects, most notably Zombie. This might be the only time in the World of Ruin that the player might choose to use Terra's Trance for maximized Rasp power.
