Gimard (ギマード, Gimādo) is the first Seru monster that appears in Legend of Legaia, as well as the first enemy fought by Vahn.
Overview[]
Gimard first appears in the introduction when the Mist appears in Conkram. This Seru can be seen attacking a woman in the city.
In Rim Elm, Gimards appear after Juggernaut destroys the wall. One Gimard attacks a woman which prompts Vahn to fight against the Seru in order to save her. After this battle, another Gimard can be seen fighting against Tetsu, and other Gimards surrounding the Genesis Tree.
Even after defeating the Gimards surrounding the Genesis Tree, they will re-appear once the last Gimard is destroyed if the Genesis Tree has not been revived. They also appear in random enemy encounters at this point.
Whether or not Gimard is absorbed, Meta will interrupt Vahn's dream should he rest within Drake Castle and explain to him the special properties of Ra-Seru absorption.
Gimard is one of the weaker sub-species of Seru, though it can still easily kill a normal human. However, the Biron monk Tetsu was able to defeat multiple Gimard and even hold back three at the same time, showing that highly skilled humans are capable of fighting one off. Gimard has control over the element of Fire and can shoot fireballs using its magic. Gimard is also able to attack physically by pecking with its strong beak, smashing with its rock solid head, and slashing with its pincers.
Summon Spell[]
Upon being summoned, Gimard will attack with the spell Burning Attack, in which it sets itself on fire and charges into the enemy.
