Monsters: Which use Vanish – 35 shown
Limited monsters never appear in random encounters; bosses are involved in important plot fights; special bosses and the final bosses are specifically called out as well; super bosses represent the greatest challenge in the game; Battle Square monsters only appear in the Battle Square; chocobos only appear in certain areas when using a Chocobo Lure and can be caught
Name		 Level HP MP Attack
The base physical damage dealt by this monster's abilities; physical damage abilities typically deal damage as a multiple of this value (P)
Base P		 Magic atk
The base magic damage dealt by this monster's abilities; magic damage abilities typically deal damage as a multiple of this value (M)
Base M
The estimated average amount of damage this ability will deal to a target with 128 Defense or Magic def when used by this monster (3/4 of base damage); actual damage will vary considerably based on the target's actual Defense or Magic def and other factors, but this is a good measure of the relative danger of this ability; a dagger (†) indicates that the ability deals set damage or otherwise ignores Defense and Magic def; numbers in italics are based on factors that will change during combat and should be considered very rough estimates; healing, MP restoration, HP drain, and MP drain or damage are indicated by text color
Typical Damage		 Defense
This is the damage a monster will take compared to the base damage of a physical attack
Phys. Vuln.		 Magic def
This is the damage a monster will take compared to the base damage of a magic attack
Magic Vuln.		 Defense%
Note that party members get a +50 bonus to Dexterity during combat which monsters do not
Dexterity		 Luck Elemental Vulnerability Status Immunity EXP AP Gil
The rate of Steal success per item by a character of equal level to the monster; these rates will change based on the level difference between the Stealing character and the monster; hover over a percentage to see the base rate (which is based on being 10 levels higher than the monster); this rate is multiplied by 80%±2% per level difference; only one item can be stolen, so an increase in level may in some cases decrease the effective Steal rate of items later in the list
Steal
A monster will never drop an item if an item was Stolen from it during the battle; only monsters present in the final battle of a multi-battle sequence may drop items

Vanish grants the target the powerful Clear Status. This makes all physical attacks miss, but magic attacks always hit and remove the Status. While this is most frequently used to abuse a bug that makes Clear targets vulnerable to Spells like Doom, it's also a very effective defensive tactic against Monsters that don't use magic Abilities.
