Encountered In
Castle Palamecia
You may remember Black Knights from the game's introduction. Fighting them is a lot more fair when you meet them in Castle Palamecia. They're more dangerous than their Royal Guard brethren, with 7 attacks that are a bit more powerful, though not Poisonous, and higher defense and HP. Treat them as tougher versions of those enemies. However, they can be profitable to fight, as they drop both Yoichi's Bows and powerful Sun Blades, which you will likely want two of if you can get them.

Mirage Tower
Floating Castle
Temple of Fiends Past
BADMEN get two powerful attacks, making them dangerous in large groups. They look small and weak, but they have plenty of HP and Defense. High Magic Defense makes them a pain to take out quickly, though it's worth using your various spellcasting items to soften them up while your melee fighters do the hard work. FOG2 or INV2 can also help a lot against large groups.
