The Desertpede is an enemy exclusive to the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary editions of Final Fantasy. While individual Desertpedes are weak, they always appear in groups with a heightened chance of ambushing the party, and can inflict Poison with its regular attacks. If the party attempts to explore the Earthgift Shrine immediately after defeating the Lich, the Desertpede packs will prove to be difficult.
