Notes:
- Spawns around F-8 and G-8; Seen as far as E-8.
- Exclusively uses Healing Breeze very rapidly for up to 900 HP regained.
- Has very high TP gain from receiving physical attacks, but no inherent Regain trait.
- Any Job with Subtle Blow prevents from high TP gain.
- Occasionally, attacks have an "En-Slow" effect.
- Easy fight for DRG58/THF29 with pro2 and taco.
- Decent fight for BST65/WHM32. Every time my pet and I actually did a decent amount of damage, Nandi spammed Healing Breeze. Sometimes one right after the other, which made the fight last for about 15 minutes.
Historical Background
Nandi is the bull which Siva rides and the gate keeper of Siva and Parvati in Hindu mythology. In addition to being a mount, Nandi is also the chief follower of Siva. So much so, that in some stories, not only does he have Siva's protection, but Nandi has the same powers as Siva.
