[[Image:DQVII Greenthumb Rainiac.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The {{Party 7}} confronting the Rainiac.]]
Rainiac is the cause of the Grey Rain that turns [[human]]s into stone. It is very potent and only can be cured with the [[List of items in Dragon Quest VII#Key Items|Angel Tears]], provided that the statues are intact. However, if the statues are too eroded, the [[List of items in Dragon Quest VII#Key Items|Angel Tears]], will not be effective. Also, depending on the exposure, the [[List of items in Dragon Quest VII#Key Items|Angel Tears]], will only succeed in removing the stone curse but the stiffness will remain, in which case [[Palmela]]'s prescription is effective.

Rainiac passed through [[Regenstein]] 50 years before the {{Party 7}} arrives. There, the people were eroded by the elements and are unable to return to normal. Joseph, a resident of [[Regenstein]], was saved because he was hiding in his hideout, protected from erosion. Clayman was also saved because he was not in the town at the time. When the {{Party 7}} uses the [[List of items in Dragon Quest VII#Key Items|Angel Tears]], on [[Regenstein]], Joseph returns to normal. Now he and Clayman journey to other towns warning them about the horrors of the Grey Rain.

Rainiac recently passes through [[Greenthumb Gardens]] and curses the residents with the Grey Rain, turning them to stone. It is at this time that the {{Party 7}} arrives. He is surprised that the {{Party 7}} hasn't been turned to stone so he proceeds to attack the {{Party 7}}. However he is defeated. Rainiac boasts that the {{Party 7}} will not be able to save the residents of [[Greenthumb Gardens]]. But the {{Party 7}} uses the [[List of items in Dragon Quest VII#Key Items|Angel Tears]], and saves the town.
