In Suikoden II there are two "flower" type enemies that never make any move to attack. They have a fairly typical amount of hit points at the time, and appear in threes at most, so it's possible to fight several parties of them without ever noticing that they do nothing. The only animations usually seen are their posturing while not under attack, the flinching they do when attacked, and their death animation.


Monwer


The Monwer's data contains no pointers to any attack AI or rendering routines. They just dance, flinch, and die. There may be a frame for defending in their sheet, but it's difficult to tell. Most of the sprite sheet is dedicated to the jittery movements of the stem, and no attack is immediately apparent.

Starting at the upper left, the frames on the flower's sheet are:
  1. The default posture.
  2. Being struck.
  3. Unknown. It may be defense, or it may appear briefly when the Monwer is struck.
  4. Death.
  5. Either another "struck" posture or unknown.
