Final Fantasy IX Strongest enemy in the game ( Not Ozma Hades Necron Tantarian Yan )

Even though the title subliminally indicates the opposite of what it claims to present, it is not supposed to.
I am as serious as I could possibly be: The friendly Yan is in fact FFIX's strongest enemy, in terms of its stats and in terms of its behavior in battle. Beating the friendly Yan without characters whose stats have been increased to their limits while simultaneously having to resort to both the most useful Support Abilities (Auto-Regen is FFIX's custom infinite HP cheat...) and abilities that deal damage regardless of the enemy's defensive stats (Thievery, Dragon Crest, Frog Drop, Limit Glove, Dark Matter) is most likely the greatest battle challenge FFIX has to offer. Interestingly, the friendly Yan does not only counter all attacks, provided they ever connect, but it also spontaneously assaults one's party if one does not give it a Diamond soon enough.
Incidentally, the friendly Yan is the only friendly creature that does not flee when it is attacked. Moreover, it is the only one which one can defeat as often as one desires to (easily) acquire 50 AP in a single battle and to obtain Rosetta Rings without having to pay for them (at least not in a pecuniary sense).

Tracklist:
1) Hymn of the Fayth (FF X OST)
2) Birth of a God Remix (FF VII OST)
3) Tango of Tears (FF VII OST)
4) Hailfire Peaks (Banjo-Tooie OST)
5) Dancing Mad (FF VI OST)

this is the first time I've ever heard someone fighting this little guy. A new challange for me, indeed.

[NEroNeRoNerON]

@irfanburningowl You should indeed try it out if you have a suitable save file to welcome the Friendly Yan less peacefully. ;]

You're playing with your life o_ô

[NEroNeRoNerON]

@Spikecartesia All the time. ;]

lol Eternal Darkness does 6100 damage, why do that when u can drop a frog and do 9999 damage. (:

[NEroNeRoNerON]

@jaistar96 Even Steiner's Shock does only ridiculously low damage. I wanted to highlight that basically any attack that does not ignore defense/magic defense, regardless of its strength (and Eternal Darkness is arguably the one of the strongest magical attacks), is of no avail to harm the Friendly Yan. Frog Drop also looks much fancier than Eternal Darkness ;]

[NEroNeRoNerON]

@peelopuu No, even Quina cannot eat the Friendly Yan. It looks much more wearable than edible anyway. Maybe Kuja could wear it as a bra.

...This is nuckin' futz. But i'd much rather do this than give it a Diamond and make Ozma easier. I like Ozma when he's actually a challenge. I like to beat Ozma normally, then Friendly Yan (to get Yan's comment about already beating Ozma) then Hades (to get his remark about me beating Ozma already as well). Just so the game is WELL AWARE I beat that stupid rubber ball at max power with no weaknesses. XD It's honestly not much harder...just get Long Reach and it's practically the same fight.

[JustCallMeTina]

The toughest enemy in the game is a cute little wide-eyed sheep that looks like a Pokemon. How's that for irony? ;D

[dkblade27]

[PrettyGirlRock726]

Ill admit, I was definitely NOT expecting this! I never even tried to attack the Friendly Yan let alone beat it! This makes Ozma look like a small bunny!
