Details
Area Toran Lake Castle
Type Normal enemy

Oannes (さかなモンスター, Sakana Monsutā or バトルフィッシュ, Batorufisshu) is an enemy which appears in Suikoden.

Oannes are not especially strong enemies although their comparatively high HP can lead to them lasting longer in battle than expected. These extra turns can begin to wear on a party's HP as they traverse the Toran Lake Castle if they are not adequately prepared.

Information

This monstrous fish was spotted at Toran Lake Castle. The appearance of a gigantic fish with limbs was truly alarming. It stabbed opponents with the trident it held, fighting to repel intruders within the castle.

It was said that even a novice adventurer could easily defeat it by attacking it with fire magic, which is its weak point.
