Mad Skull is the only thunder-element based monster of which is located within The Everlasting Moon, or otherwise known as The Moon That Never Sets.

Appearance

It is a massive floating skull with six skeletal arms ending in three long, purple clawed hands extending out from the sides of said skull. Upon its face lies empty hollowed out eye sockets and within its mouth is a single eyeball with a red iris. It has a horn above each eye socket and two tusks coming out from its mouth on the upper jaw area. A large tattoo of what appears to be a spine is running from it's forehead to the back of the skull. There is a large spike below its body, and also it can float in the air.

Battle

This monster has the highest physical defense of all monsters in The Legend of Dragoon if not then very close to it, and so it is highly recommended to use magical attacks. Even if you use max level final Additions at decently high levels you may not defeat it in a single hit. As its health is actually fairly high, physical damage is just very innefective. Its attacks aren't very potent either luckily, however, it can use four different Status Ailments upon your characters. These consist of: Stun, Poison, Fear, and Confusion. Stun isn't that bad, but the other three can severely impact your battle, especially if there happens to also be a Psyche Druid with it. It is also the thunder element meaning no spell item will be more potent in that sense since it has no elemental weakness. The Psychedelic Bomb X is highly recommended.

• Multiple Arms - Floats towards a single target and bombardes them with an ferocious swipes from each arm, dealing medium to high physical damage potential.
• Stunning Hammer - Inflicts Stun towards a single target upon hit with a given probability.
• Poison Needle - Inflicts Poison towards a single target upon hit with a given probability.
• Midnight Terror - Inflicts Fear towards a single target upon hit with a given probability.
• Panic Bell - Inflicts Confusion towards a single target upon hit with a given probability.

Do note, this monster is immune to Can't Combat and all abnormal Status Ailments.
