Much like its fellow killer plants (Haunted Trees and Evil Mushrooms), the Mad Cactus is a low to moderate threat on its own, having several elemental weaknesses, no resistances, and one immunity/absorption. Its main threat comes from its ability to {{s|Stun}} and {{s|Poison}} the party with its special attacks, leaving them vulnerable to other enemies.

Much like its fellow [[Evil Plants]], the Mad Cactus is a low to moderate threat that mainly exists to hamper players while they try to deal with more dangerous foes.

The Mad Cactus can be largely neutralized as a threat by inflicting {{s|Syphon}} or {{s|Berserk}} upon it; either status restricts it to its basic Emerge attack, which has no special effects. {{E|Fire}}, {{E|Ice}}, {{E|Earth}}, and {{E|Wind}} attacks will kill it quickly, but pretty much anything else will work outside of {{E|Water}}, which it absorbs.

For the crafting item in EBF4 and 5, see Cactus.

The Mad Cactus is a foe in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and Adventure Story, also available as a summon in the former. It appears primarily in desert areas, such as in Goldenbrick Resort (in EBF4).

Appearance

The Mad Cactus is a semi-sentient plant similar to the Evil Mushroom and Haunted Tree. It appears as a small green cactus with two "arms" and a pink flower on top. Holes in its front create a simple face consisting of two eyes and a mouth; the eyes are slightly mismatched, and the mouth has small protrusions resembling teeth.

Overview

Much like its fellow Evil Plants, the Mad Cactus is a low to moderate threat that mainly exists to hamper players while they try to deal with more dangerous foes. It uses Bio attacks with varying elemental degrees; they aren't very strong, but some of them can Stun and Poison their targets.

The Mad Cactus can be largely neutralized as a threat by inflicting Syphon or Berserk upon it; either status restricts it to its basic Emerge attack, which has no special effects. Fire, Ice, Earth, and Wind attacks will kill it quickly, but pretty much anything else will work outside of Water, which it absorbs. Its defensive issues are further compounded by its low Evade and mediocre HP.

"More Foe Resistance" allows the Mad Cactus to absorb Earth, Bio, and Dark while making it immune to Curse, Doom, and Instant Death.
