The Rafflesia is an enemy from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. It is a huge plant that takes up nine tiles and can float on water. Rafflesias use their floral composition to inflict a wide array of debuffs on their foes. They also have the ability to spawn Malboros, thus increasing the player's units' danger of being hindered with status effects.

Etymology[]
The Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plants found in southeastern Asia, on Indonesia, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Thailand and the Philippines. Rafflesia was found in the Indonesian rain forest by an Indonesian guide working for Dr. Joseph Arnold in 1818, and named after Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the leader of the expedition.
