Notes:

Spawned for Calm Before the Storm, by examining the "Storage Compartment" at the shed located in (E-7).
May use Blood Weapon when it gets low on health, sometimes sooner; sometimes Blood Weapon is not used at all.
Even though it uses Blood Weapon, it has no MP.
Uses all the Bugard special attacks, plus Hungry Crunch (drains HP, resets TP, and steals food).
Can be bound/gravitied (will build resistance after repeated use)
High resistance to sleep, but not immune.
Has high defense but low evasion and average accuracy. Easy solo as NIN, THF, or DNC.
