Talk:Arch Ahriman

Morphing ability
I wasn't sure where to add this bit of information, so I'll put it here and if someone wishes to adjust the main page they may do so. The Arch Ahriman will morph periodically throughout the battle into one of three Bastokan Mythril Musketeers - Five Moons, Volker (S), or Nicolaus. This appears to be either a TP based move, timed ability, or a random job ability (basically, it is not HP related, as the Ahriman morphed after a few seconds of kiting and also at 1%). During these phases where it assumes the physical form of an ally, its HP depletion is put on hold. It cannot take damage to its main body until the image "dies" and the mob reverts back to the Ahriman form. The images of the allies appear to do all the moves associated with their counterparts (Volker does sword weapon skills, Nicholas casts magic, and Five Moons does scythe weapon skills) and the images appear to only have about 2,000 HP. The Arch Ahriman itself casts high level magic (Tier 4 single and Tier 3 -ga), but the images it morphs into do not, excepting Nicolaus who casts Tier 3 and 4 single magic as per his Scholar job.
