Gressil enemy line

The Gressil and Little Death are enemies that are randomly battled in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. These monsters, resembling flying demon-like animals without legs and holding a scythe in each hand, are palette swamps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the game.

Gressil
A Gressil is a blue level 26 variant with violet wings. In The Lost Age it is fought only throughout Izumo Ruins, an optional area; therefore, some players might miss this monster altogether.

The Gressil is both quite a bit weaker and less sturdy than the monsters it is fought alongside, but it has the highest Agility rating by quite a large margin. Its unique drop is, however, more of a novelty than a desirable piece of rare equipment, so whether you want to bother abusing the Random Number Generator to get it is up to you.

A Gressil's statistics are as follows:

A Gressil uses these battle commands:

Little Death
A Little Death is a reddish level 33 variant with violet wings. In The Lost Age it is fought only throughout Magma Rock.

The Little Death is outperformed in each category by the Wise Gryphon, and it is rare for it to use Condemn and have it actually hit before you fell it. And like with the Gressil, its unique drop is more of a novelty than a desirable piece of rare equipment, so whether you want to bother abusing the Random Number Generator to get it is up to you.

A Little Death's statistics are as follows:

A Little Death uses these battle commands:

Mini-Death
Like with all other enemy lines introduced in The Lost Age that seem to have only two variants, a third palette-swapped variant to this line exists in the code of the game cart and was even given its own name, but has none of its statistics and abilities coded beyond weak placeholder abilities. Had it been used it would have appeared as a pale-light-green variant with dark turquoise wings named Mini-Death.
