The Rainiac has the same appearance as a [[Tongue fu fighter]]. It is a squat bipedal pink anteater with a long yellow snout, its blue tongue sticking out of it. It utilizes its tongue to whip opponents or lick them into stunned submission.

It utilizes its tongue to whip opponents or lick them into stunned submission. Compared to its weaker cousins, the Rainiac has gained the ability to cast healing magic, can breathe out cold air, and is quick enough to act twice in a single turn. The beast has disdain for [[human]]s, as it only lives to spread the Grey Rain that causes petrification and expresses shock at finding that the {{Party 7}} themselves have not been turned to stone yet. The Rainiac mostly survives on a diet of nectar, but it states that it doesn't have a problem drinking [[human]] blood, either. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

It is at this time that the | 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. | ||

Its [[Tongue Lashing]] will cause one of your {{Party 7}} members to lose a turn. The main attack worth watching out for is its [[Cool Breath]], which can deal around 15 damage to the entire {{Party 7}}. The Rainiac is also able to heal itself, but due to its low {{MP}} pool, it can only cast it twice. | ||
[[ | {{Maribel}} should use [[Sap]] twice to remove its defense. [[Kiefer]] should use the [[Focus Strength]] and [[Flame Slash]] combo on Rainiac while the {{Hero 7}} and [[Ruff]] attack regularly. At this point, Rainiac shouldn't cause that much trouble. | ||
