	Cumulus vex has the appearance of an old wizard whose body and clothes are completely composed of [[Elemental family\|golden clouds]]. It has solid green eyes, pointed ears, and a long majestic beard that reaches down to its feet. On top of its head, it has two long strands of "hair" that stick up like horns while the rest seems to blend in with the billowing robes it is wearing. Its hands have three digits each and the bottom of its body is surrounded by grey stormclouds. It is a fearsome enemy to face in battle, calling upon razor-sharp blasts of wind that rip apart its enemies and overwhelming the unprepared with sheer numbers due to its ability to call upon '''~~sky~~ fries''' to aid it in battle. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, it speaks in wind-based puns. Although the ~~cumulus~~ vex was a boss in its first appearance, it went on to become a regular enemy when it reappeared in {{IX}}.

	The Cumulus vex is a tough boss, being able to attack twice in one turn. It uses wind-based attacks like [[Thin Air]], that hits all of the party for about ~60 {{HP}}, and [[Wind Sickles]], that hits one {{Party 7}} member for ~80 {{HP}} (~100 in the {{3DS}} version). Its ability to summon multiple ~~sky~~ fries makes the battle more difficult. Thankfully, ~~sky~~ fries can be put to ~~sleep~~, have their spells sealed away, or confused to take them out of the action.		The Cumulus vex is a tough boss, being able to attack twice in one turn.

	Attacks that hit more than one enemy are very helpful. The [[Flametang boomerang]] that can be purchased in [[Aeolus Vale]] is also helpful because it hits all enemies with decreasing damage. [[Boom]] is effective as well. Unfortunately, [[Ruff]]'s [[Call of the Wild]] and the Shepherd's [[Lambpede]] are completely useless in the battle. Physical attackers should focus their attacks on the Cumulus vex or use [[Sword Dance]]. Spellcasters should keep the ~~party~~ healed, cast [[Kabuff]] and [[Oomph]] when necessary, and use group attack spells to defeat the ~~sky~~ fries. [[Magic Barrier]] can also be cast to help protect the {{Party 7}}, but in the {{3DS}} version, it no longer reduces the damage taken from its wind attacks.
