Combat

Despite the visual cues suggesting otherwise, Urobolus only deals physical damage and may attack single targets or the entire party at once. It is able to inflict the Poison status ailment with 100% certainty, so equipping a Poison Guard is recommended. Otherwise, use Body Purifiers to cure it. After its third turn, Urobolus will enter an semi-invulnerability state where Dart and Lavitz will not be able to attack it with Additions. Shana will still be able to reach it with her bow. It is possible to defeat Urobolus before it enters its semi-invulnerable state by having Dart and Lavitz use successful Additions while Shana throws attack items.

Traits

Bosses often possess passive effects which modify standard battle mechanics. None of these are given official names, so the community used approximate names.

Abilities

Boss behavior often changes from player input as most of them use "if → then" rules. Conditions are criteria that must be met in order for a Boss to take a particular action. With multiple eligible actions, the Boss selects one at random. Below are some key terms that appear frequently, so are defined here for brevity.
Auto - Found under the Conditions column, this means the Action will be used on the enemy’s next turn if the other conditions are met.
Ignore Turn Order - Usually paired with the Retaliate action, this means the current values which determine turn order do not change from this action being taken.

Conditions	Action	Target	Effect	Notes
	Spit	Single	Inflicts 1x Physical damage and 100% chance to inflict Poison	Target's A-AV reduces chance to receive status ailment
On floor (not in invulnerable state)	Bite	Single	Inflicts 1x Physical damage
In rock (in invulnerable state)	Poison Mist	Party	Inflicts 1x Physical damage
Third turn from start of battle or third turn since boss returned to floor	Slither Away	Self	Additions automatically miss and disable Bite for two turns	Used every three turns not including any turns spent "in rock"

*As most abilities do not have official names, the community came up with approximate names marked with an ~ in the above table.

Trivia

1. The word "urobolus" appears to be a mistranslation of the word "ouroboros." The ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent consuming itself by the tail. It is meant to symbolize the cycle of life and death.
