As the name suggests, this creature resembles a small green running cactus-man with three spikes for hair. Two dots and a long open mouth for a face give it a rather cute, bemused look. It never has more than two poses, in which the feet run and the arms switch places. Despite its endearing figure, it can cause great damage with its attack, 1,000 Needles, which usually causes a constant 1,000 points of damage. In addition, most attack attempts fail or miss due to its high evade stat, and it often runs away before you can even get a chance to execute a command. However, it also has a tiny amount of HP, so one attack is usually enough. It often gives a large amount of ability points or money, but slim to no EXP. In Cactuar briefly shows up in one or two very rare occasions in DoC.
