The Sahagin, also known as Water Bandit or Water Thug, is a recurring enemy in the Mana series. Often appearing as a humanoid frog type monster, they are one of the most commonly recognized creatures in the franchise and have been appearing in all installments ever since their debut in Final Fantasy Adventure.

General Information[edit]

Physical Description[edit]

Sahagins are round, piscean creatures coverted in green scales and orange webby fins in lieu of hands and feets. They sport a mohawk made of fins on their head and back. Their bulbous eyes have a tired expression and their orange lips are perpetually swollen. They are often seen carrying a spear that they use either as a melee weapon or a projectile.

Attributes[edit]

Being aquatic creatures, Sahagins often haunt every bodies of water available in games they appear in. Their amphibious nature lead them to roam fields and caves as well. They can ever thrive in frigid regions. Very rarely will they venture in hot & dry environments although they are known exceptions.

These aquatic monsters are naturally attuned to the water element. They will most likely be vulnerable to the fire element although there are some exceptions to that rule.

Variants[edit]

The Sahagin has only one known variant called the Petit Poseidon. It is characterized by having stronger stats and casting Undine magic in some games.

The Dark Sahagin is a souped-up version of the regular monster in Sword of Mana, spawning after defeating 1,000 Sahagins.

This sea monster can be found in many bodies of water, including the ocean, and can be spotted around Westlake and the Subterranean River. It has a normal movement speed and attacks by throwing harpoons in a straight line at Sumo. It is fortunately quite frail defensively and is weak against lightning-based attack. It is one of the few monsters to drop Keyrings upon defeat.

In Adventures of Mana, the Shahagin’s only notable difference is their slightly better speed.
