{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|マヨネー|, Mayonnai}} is a character in {{CT}}. He appears in [[Fiendlord's Keep]] in the [[Middle Ages]], where he is fought as a boss. Fighting alongside [[Super Slash]] and [[Ozzie]], he appears again in [[Ozzie's Fort]] as [[Diva Flea]]. Flea is a magician of renowned strength. In a [[New Game Plus]] of {{CC}}, [[Flea (Chrono Cross)|Flea]] is battled as a secret boss in the [[Bend of Time]] along with [[Ozzie (Chrono Cross)|Ozzie]] and [[Slash (Chrono Cross)|Slash]]. In this fight, Flea's gender symbol is male, although he sports pink hair and a skirt. In both games, a secret item can be stolen from Flea. This item is [[Flea Bustier]], clearly a feminine garment. | |||
When battling Flea in [[Fiendlord's Keep]], it is also useful to perform [[X-Strike]]. Not only are Crono and Frog necessary party members for that boss battle, but the tech proves useful, as Flea also has high resistances to [[Magic]]. Also, when a fresh session of ''Chrono Trigger'' is loaded, if the player watches through the scrolling videos, the battle with Flea in Fiendlord's Keep is shown. The tech Frog and Crono use in that animated video also happens to be X-Strike. | |||
Flea is one of the enemies a party member can trap inside the [[Forget-Me-Not Pot]] for use with [[Sprigg]]'s [[Doppelgang]] [[Element#Techs|Tech]] in ''Chrono Cross''. | |||

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. | 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's name in the NA translation of the game comes from the bassist of the [[wikipedia:Red Hot Chili Peppers|Red Hot Chili Peppers]], | Flea's name in the NA translation of the game comes from the bassist of the [[wikipedia:Red Hot Chili Peppers|Red Hot Chili Peppers]], {{w|Flea (musician)|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. | ||
