The Brainpan is an enemy encountered on the Floating Continent. It can be a nuisance to fight, as its special attack Smirk inflicts Stop, and if it is alone it attacks with 1000 Needles.
Final Fantasy XII
The Brainpan is a construct/facer-type enemy found in the Pharos. The player must kill Brainpans to create green bridges to advance. Killing the red-flamed Deidars will destroy any bridges that have not been set and the player will have to kill more Brainpans to recreate them. Once a bridge is complete, it will set in place and killing Deidars will not destroy it. Brainpan has the Magepower Shishak as a rare poach.
