Chess Knight (Secret of Mana)

A Chess Knight is an enemy in Secret of Mana.

Description
Chess Knights slowly hop toward their opponent and try stomping on them. After a while, they can cast Speed Up to boost their evasion stat even further, making them extremely difficult to hit. It is recommended to defeat them as quickly as possible because of that.

Not much has changed in Secret of Mana HD, perhaps only the fact that they seem harder to hit with weapons, even when not under their Speed Up influence.
