Sabotender

Seedkin#22Lv. 3Physical
Conditioned by the brutal nature of the arid regions they inhabit, cactuars are quick to defend themselves with a barrage of painful needles. Cactuar-related injuries have risen since a certain recreational establishment endorsed the creature, leading ignorant pleasure-seekers to chase what they believe to be a beloved mascot.
