Notes:

• Appears in the following BCNMs: Creeping Doom.
• Uses all the standard crawler TP moves.
• Casts Cure III and a potent Paralyga.

• Spams Cure III until it runs out of MP (even at +90% HP).
• Paralyga causes all shadows to disappear.

• Due to Cure III spam, it is recommended to either:

• Keep him sleeping until he is dead, with Sleep Bolts, or timed nuking (casting sleep immediately after nukes); or
• Sleep him, and cast Aspir until he runs out of MP, at which point he can be killed normally; or
• Outlast him in cures, such as a PT of DRG/Mage using Yagudo Drinks and Healing Breath.

• Either highly resistant, or immune to silence (Elemental Seal+Silence failed 3 times on Black Mage).

Historical Background

In Romanian folklore, Bitoso was a demonic worm (of standard size) with multiple heads which caused stomach-aches. It would also lead to a decrease in appetite, leading to its nickname, "the faster" (as in the verb fast not the adjective fast).
