Rhyos

Rhyoses are very nasty foes. They have the same Blaze 7 attack as Chimeras, but also have Bad Breath 6. This isn't the usual Malboro Ability, it's simply Petrifying breath. Petrification this early in the game is really nasty, as your Esuna Spell may not even be able to cure it outside of combat.
