Geyzer claims to be the master of the waterfall the player comes across at the end of the [[Waterfall Cave]] and has a decided grudge against the [[Fortune Teller]] who injured him. When trying to retrieve the crystal ball, Geyzer will swim up from the waterfall, introduce himself, and then question the {{Party 8}} as to whether or not they are the [[Kalderasha|owners]] of the crystal ball. If the {{Party 8}} says no, Geyzer will dismiss them and go back into hiding until the player attempts to grab the crystal ball again, but if they say yes he will try to exact his revenge, making it clear that he doesn't actually know '' | Geyzer claims to be the master of the waterfall the player comes across at the end of the [[Waterfall Cave]] and has a decided grudge against the [[Fortune Teller]] who injured him.

In battle, Geyzer will attack by either smacking an opponent with his tail or by tearing into one with his claws. He is also capable of casting [[Sizz]] in order to hit the whole {{Party 8}} and will often release a cursed wave that can stun a character for a turn, though this latter move will never work against the {{Hero 8}}. It is recommended to be at least Level 5 or higher before attempting to fight Geyzer since his claw attack in particular can easily 2HKO a low-level character. He has a unique idle animation in battle where he spasms momentarily while grimacing, possibly because of his head injury. | In battle, Geyzer will attack by either smacking an opponent with his tail or by tearing into one with his claws.
