Gloom Widows are poisonous spider enemies and a relative of Black Widows and Tarantulas. They make their first and main appearance in Final Fantasy V.
History[edit]
Final Fantasy V[edit]
In Final Fantasy V, Gloom Widows are encountered in the surrounding areas of both Moore and Crescent. They have two abilities, Web and Needle, and if caught by a party member with the Beastmaster job, a Gloomy Widow can still use Web as an attack. Characters with the Steal command can take either a Potion or a Hi-Potion from them, the latter being a lot less likely.
In the iOS and Android releases, Gloom Widows have a light purple body. In earlier versions, they have a yellow and purple-striped body, and have the same appearance as Tarantulas.
Final Fantasy remakes[edit]
In remakes of Final Fantasy, starting with the Game Boy Advance release, Gloom Widows are encountered as common enemies in all four Soul of Chaos dungeons. Unlike in Final Fantasy V, Gloom Widows' bodies were changed to yellow. In the Game Boy Advance release, the tips of their feet are purple.
Gloom Widows are a lot weaker than in Final Fantasy V, although they have received the ability to sometimes inflict poison on a party member by attacking them.
