Historically in FF, these were very weak to lightning, somewhat weak to wind, and strong to all other elements (especially ice and fire). They had very little hp/defense. They were always black mage jobs, and in FFI had that lame en-death attack. In apperance, they either had zero eyes or very poor sight, and looked very dark in color. Because of their powerful hearing ability, they often maintained a low profile until it was time to strike.
