Pooka is a rare FOE that appears as a yellow icon and can be found occasionally on the land maps. It will run from the player at sight. Players can easily distract it with just about any (non-poisonous) food, which will make catching easy. Additionally, they can be chased down easily enough with the Twin Propeller Skyship part.

While it doesn't drop any items in battle, the player is guaranteed to obtain a Vigor Book after a successful battle.

The player can also engage battle with them by flying into them without facing them.

The Pooka is a 1-tile DOE that can be encountered in Muspelheim, Forest of Gates, Thunderous Cave, Glacial Cave, Burning Cave, Equinox Garden, Utopia and only after they have been extended in Emerald Copse, Pristine Stream, Haunted Woods, Crystalline Peak and Torrential Ravine.

This DOE is the most special of the DOEs. It only takes one point of damage for all attacks, even if it is affected by an ailment that removes its DOE protection. It is therefore useless to inflict ailments on it to do more damage. It is however sensitive to fixed damage, Blowback Sigil damage can for example inflict a lot of damage easily. It is also very resistant to Binds and stat decrease.

In battle it acts twice per turn, but it can skip its turn because of Idle Float. Unlike other monsters there doesn't seem to be a skill that explains why its speed is increased.

This monster tries to avoid combat, so you should try to corner it in a room or Leg Bind it. As it flies, this can make it impossible to fight in dungeons without walls, like Thunderous Cave or Torrential Ravine. Furthermore, its Help Me! skill makes the end of the fight complicated because it can teleport elsewhere as soon as it meets one of party member.

When it is in a dungeon, it can disappear without being killed and without having destroyed a fort. This makes it more difficult to find than other DOE. Unlike all other DOEs it does not have Amber Lure, however it can still summon monsters with Help Me!

This monster is a Normal type monster.

Skills[]

  • Flight Instinct (Uses None): "Runs away upon sighting an enemy because of its timid nature." Passive skill that can be disabled with Skill Bind. This skill modifies the AI of the monster. This will make the Pooka try to run away from the player instead of approaching to fight. However, this only works in a room, so it is possible to fight it in a corridor without it running away (except with Help Me!).
  • Go Away! (Uses Head): "Sends all nearby clingy enemies flying away and deals damage that ignores defense." Damages are fixed damages according to the formula 2.5*x, with x the HP lost by the Pooka, rounded down. This attack also pushes the characters of 2 tiles. Used only after it has lost 20 HP.
  • Keep Up! (Uses Head): "Makes all enemies in the room move slower for 10 turns." Used only after it has lost 12 HP.
  • Idle Float (Uses Legs): "Floats in place. It's unclear what this unit is thinking." The monster misses its turn. It is then written "Pooka is floating."
  • Help Me! (Uses Legs): "Summons monsters due to feeling threatened, and runs away to a different room." Summons between 1 and 4 monsters and teleports itself elsewhere in the floor. Used only when it has lost 32 HP and when a party member is on an adjacent tile.

Drops[]

  • Wandering Box : Chest that disappears after about ten turns and that contains a random item from the dungeon, usually a piece of equipment.
  • White Potion (Worth: 888 en) : Secret salve that raises the user's level by 1. Has the same effect when thrown.
