Pyrolisks are incredibly weak foes that are easily killed, but they have a Gaze attack that causes instant KO. It's not particularly accurate, but they should still be taken out quickly before they have a chance to use it. While they are not weak to Lightning, Bolt2 should be perfectly sufficient to take out any number of them. Ice2 works even better if you don't need to conserve level 4 Spell slots.

Cockatrices have low HP and Defense, and only 1 Attack. So what's the big deal? Their attacks turn their victims to Stone. Combined with their high Evasion, this makes cocktrices some of the more annoying enemies you will run into, especially if you don't have a supply of Gold Needles. In large groups, it is worth taking them out with Spells in most cases. Saving Spell slots is important, but this is one of the enemies you save them for.

PERILISKS are incredibly weak foes that are easily killed, but they have a SQUINT attack that causes KO. They will use it 1/4 of the time, and it has approximately a 50/50 chance to connect when they do. LIT2 or ICE2 can take out groups quickly.
