Boss[edit | edit source]

Battle and Strategy[edit | edit source]

Entering Fiendlord's Keep in search of Magus, Crono, Frog, and another encounter Flea? in the eastern corridor of the main lobby, after traversing several illusions of people the party members care for. Flea? floats into view as a yellow-skinned creature resembling the Juggler, while a bat looks on. After defeating it, the bat flutters to the center of the room. The bat is Flea, and he then transforms into his true form, which contains a white cloak, a skirt, and pink, braided hair. During the dialogue, Frog denounces this magician's physical appearance as yet another illusion. As the battle ensues, the floor disappears, revealing a blue, starry expanse of sky beneath the red carpet of the room.

Flea uses his charm to seduce Crono into attacking the two other party members, damaging all three. This attack will not work if Crono is unconscious. The charm attack consists of staring at Crono with a tender look which apparently makes Crono sufficiently enamored with him so that he attacks his friends. Flea counters physical blows dealt to him with strong techs. Using Berserker helps avoid Flea's counters, as Flea does not register it as a regular attack. Additionally, the official Enemy Dictionary does not recognize that Flea casts Heart of Fire in battle, but he does. Flea also casts this tech in his Diva Flea form.

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Flea's name in the NA translation of the game comes from the bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Michael Balzary. Flea's Japanese name is a pun on Mayonnaise. Since Ozzie's Japanese name (Vinegar) and Slash's Japanese name (Soisō - Soy Sauce) also come from condiments, Mayonai seems appropriate.
