Cactrots only use Blow Fish, and will eventually use it 10 times to decimate your party. They are almost impossible to hit or to deal more than 1 damage to, but an attack that can't miss and ignores Defense will make short work of them. They are an excellent source of GP and the best source of Magic Points in the game.

A Cactuar will always begin combat with Cactuar Dance. If you don't interrupt this dance (i.e., you don't attack the Cactuar), it will eventually Grow into a Giant Cactuar (which in turn can Mature into a Cactuar Prime).

You will never see a Cactuar Prime in the field. Rather, when you encounter a Cactuar, if you do not attack it during its Cactus Dance, it will Grow into a Giant Cactuar. The Giant Cactuar will use Encore Dance, and if you don't interrupt that either, it Matures into a Cactuar Prime. Unlike its predecessors, who will attack with Kick, a Cactuar Prime uses 1,000 Needles repeatedly to attack. In addition to dealing 1,000 base damage, this attack inflicts Fog and Pain, so it pays to have a Sentinel stand there and endure the punishment.
