Ipooh

There's really nothing special about the Ipoohs that accompany Vargas, except that you can't target Vargas until they have been taken out. They deal a lot of damage, will occasionally use Claw instead of a normal attack, and have a ton of HP. Fortunately they are weak to Fire, which Terra can exploit. They are sadly immune to Poison, which may have actually been useful. You can Steal a Potion from each of them if you want.
