Red Demon enemy line

The Red Demon, Lesser Demon, and Mad Demon are species of monsters found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. These monsters, resembling large bipedal bull-wolf beings with wings, are palette swaps of each other and have differing levels of power and defense. This monster line is notable because each of its members can drop a rare piece of equipment that cannot be found anywhere else. It is also one of the toughest monster lines around, with each member being particularly sturdy and powerful among the monsters in the area which it is fought.

Red Demon
A Red Demon is a member with violet skin, green eyes, and purple wings. The Red Demon has 228 HP, 10 PP, 173 Attack, 43 Defense, 90 Agility, and 26 Luck. Its resistances are rather high and well balanced, with only its Jupiter resistance being less than others while its Venus resistance is more than others.

Red Demons can attack with a physical attack, the Mad Growth Psynergy for some Venus damage to multiple Adepts, and the monster skill Vital Moon, a powerful tackle that sometimes leaves the targeted Adept with one remaining HP. Their very low PP meters mean they can only use Mad Growth once per battle, but this does not make it much less of a tough opponent. It is quite damaging to the party and should be the first monster targeted whenever it appears in battle.

Felling a Red Demon yields 129 EXP, 154 coins, and in rare cases, a Staff of Anubis, a Staff-class weapon that is a good deal stronger than anything else Jenna and Sheba might be holding the first time the enemy can be fought. Red Demons are battled in the Gabomba Statue and the Gabomba Catacombs.

Lesser Demon
A Lesser Demon is a member with light green skin, violet eyes, and purple wings. The Lesser Demon has 410 HP, 44 PP, 374 Attack, 119 Defense, 178 Agility, and 28 Luck. Its resistances are rather high and well balanced, with only its Jupiter resistance being less than others while its Venus resistance is more than others.

Lesser Demons can attack with a physical attack, the Stone Spire Psynergy for moderate Venus damage to multiple Adepts, and the monster skill Vital Moon, a powerful tackle that sometimes leaves the targeted Adept with one remaining HP. Although low, their PP meters are still sufficient to let them cast Stone Spire twice per battle, and this helps make it quite a powerful random opponent. It should be the first monster targeted whenever it appears in battle.

Felling a Lesser Demon yields 511 EXP, 304 coins, and in very rare cases, a Rune Blade, a Long Sword-class weapon that is quite powerful for when the enemy can be first fought. Lesser Demons are battled in the interior portion of Magma Rock.

Mad Demon
A Mad Demon is a member with light blue skin, yellow eyes, and green wings. The Mad Demon has 745 HP, 96 PP which regenerates 4 PP per turn, 567 Attack, 234 Defense, 213 Agility, and 29 Luck. Its resistances are rather high and well balanced, with only its Jupiter resistance being less than others while its Venus resistance is more than others.

Mad Demons can attack with a physical attack, the Grand Gaia Psynergy for strong Venus damage to multiple Adepts, the Condemn Psynergy to attempt to instantly down an Adept, the Thorny Grave Psynergy for Venus damage to multiple Adepts that may haunt each Adept affected, and the monster skill Vital Moon, a powerful tackle that sometimes leaves the targeted Adept with one remaining HP. All this amounts to perhaps the most powerful and dangerous monster to randomly encounter repeatedly; it may be prudent to have a Thor or Eclipse summoning ready at times.

Felling a Mad Demon yields 671 EXP, 363 coins, and in extremely rare cases, a Lachesis' Rule, widely considered the best Staff-class weapon and one of the best weapons for the Jupiter Adepts Ivan and Sheba. Mad Demons are battled in the Anemos Sanctum.
