Sahagin

The Sahagin's Harpoon Hurl and Sahagin Curse attacks can turn your whole team into frogs, which can't use Magic and deal almost no damage. It'll spend some time charging these attack, so make sure to maintain a safe distance. Be sure to have Maiden's Kiss, which will cure the Frog status, and keep at least one party member with an ATB charge ready to use it.

Scissorclaws

Scissorclaws are highly resistant to physical attacks. Use Magic against them to take them down effectively.
