Gaeatoad is a high-difficulty boss from the limited time event ‘A Midsummer Night’s Stroll,’ as well as the very high difficulty permanent Challenge quest, Wastelands War (Bertrand).

It takes the form resembling a large gate as an open mouth, and will cast strong single-target magic spells to knock out a character. Once a character is knocked out, it will slowly inhale them, pulling them towards itself. Should the knocked out character reach Atomos before being revived, Atomos will use an ability called Wormhole, causing the inhaled character to disappear into its ‘mouth’ and be removed from battle, with the message ‘Dragged into another dimension!’

Description: 

In the caves section of the game, there are toothed mouths that can be seen on the ground and tentacles overhead. If Lester fails to jump over the mouths, he will be pulled in, and a first-person perspective can be seen of a number of teeth closing on him, whereas if Lester fails to run past the tentacles, they will do the same, though the latter will cause him to bleed, whereas the former will not.

In order to get past a particular set of tentacles, Lester must shoot his gun so a nearby bat flies ands gets caught, allowing Lester to climb past safely.

Last Cloudia [And, iOS, PC] – Zable Fahr / Various

Media: video game: “Last Cloudia”
Developer: Aidis
Platform: Android, Apple iOS, Computer

Description:

In the limited-time crossover event with Trials of Mana, the final boss is against Zable Fahr. Much like in Trials of Mana, the blue and pink heads of Zable Fahr are able to do a combination attack called Diabolical Blast, in which the pink head will blow the player characters into the blue head’s mouth, who will chew them before spitting them out. However, in this game, there are issues in which the player characters may not always disappear into the mouth (which unintentionally mimics the situation in the Trials of Mana 2020 remake, in which Zable Fahr will only bite at player characters). Particle effects and damage numbers may also obscure detail.

Description:

Zable Fahr is a boss fought late into the game, taking the form of three disembodied demonic heads, and can be fought regardless of which character is chosen as the main character. It is the eighth Benevodon, available to fight only after the other seven are defeated.

If both the blue and pink heads are alive, they are able to do a combination attack known as Diabolical Blast, in which the pink head will blow a player character into the blue head’s mouth. The blue head will chew and spit them back out for a large amount of damage.

Slugger is a worm-like boss enemy from the limited time event ‘Battle with Slugger.’ It has a rarely used skill called Swallow, in which the skill animation shows a stylized, disembodied set of jaws appearing and inhaling the selected character.
