'''Taurusoid''' is a boss appearing in ''[[Chrono Cross]]''.
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a boss appearing in {{CC}}. Appearing as a colossal robotic Taurus, this creature guards the [[Green Crystal]] in [[Another World]]'s [[Fort Dragonia]].
 
==Strategy and Battle==
Due to this enemies high [[Defense]] stat and low [[Magic Defense]] stat, it is advisable to cast [[Element]]s frequently during this battle. Start by attacking with level 1 physical attacks, as Taurusoid's Evasion is incredibly high, causing attacks with a [[Hit Percent]] of lower than 80% to miss each time. After building the grid element levels of the characters present, cast a [[Debuff]] spell that reduces evasion, such as [[Numble]], or a [[Buff]] that raises Hit Percent ([[EagleEye]]) on a character with low Accuracy, such as [[Luccia]] or [[Guile]]. Once this has been completed, cast the strongest [[Element#Techs|Techs]] in the party's arsenal first. Ensure that the Techs used are not [[Yellow (Element)|Yellow]] [[Innate]]. While Taurusoid is vulnerable to Yellow Elements, it [[counter]]s each one with a [[HealAll]] spell that restores upward of 75 [[Hit Point]]s per cast. Additionally, avoid having a [[Element#Field Effect|Field Effect]] multiplier, as this causes Taurusoid to use its powerful Techs more frequently. Suggested Techs to use are [[Luminaire (Element)|Luminaire]], [[RedPin]], and [[Pin-UpGirl]]. To increase damage done by such Techs, one can cast [[Genius]] on a single party member beforehand.
 
Keep the Hit Points of each party member above 200, which, at this point in the plot, should be near the maximum number allotted. Taurusoid will use powerful, one-targeted Techs such as [[ChokeSlam]], [[BackDrop]], and [[BodyPress]] in battle. Occasionally, this cybernetic bull performs these moves several times in a row, causing the Field Effect to switch fully to Green, giving his additional moves and healing spells bonuses. Immediately cast an Element after the Field Effect turns Green, even if the Element is weak or unneeded. Normally, Taurusoid's Techs deal a meager 70 damage, but with the modifier, they deal upwards of 170 damage, knocking out a character in two moves. Rarely will Taurusoid use normal physical attacks, but when it does, it hits the target between 2 and 3 times in a row for around 35 damage, which can also be lethal. As a final note: switch between healing and attacking every other turn, and never use Yellow Elements. 
 
==Etymology==
{{w|Taurus}} is a a zodiacal constellation that contains Pleiades and Hyades and is represented pictorially by a bull's forequarters. Since this boss bears the horns of a bull, the inclusion of this zodiac sign is appropriate. Also, the suffix ''-oid'' means "similar to" or "like" something else, which denotes the half-bull, half-robot physiology of this creature. ''-Oid'' is also commonly used to describe robotic lifeforms.
