Doomtrain
Doomtrain is a must for any serious SeeD. First off, his Runaway Train deals excessive Poison damage and inflicts just about every status ailment you could wish for, including Vit 0. This is easily enough to completely disable any common enemy, and even the most powerful of bosses are unable to resist the full spectrum. In addition, his high HP growth and access to the rare GFHP+40% make Doomtrain an ideal "buffer" to have in summoning as the enemy executes a powerful attack. He is also pretty good at keeping your own health in trim with a range of elemental and status junctions, Auto-Shell, and Absorb, which comes in handy should you make use of the self-sacrificing Darkside. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, Doomtrain acts as a mobile Junk Shop to let you upgrade weapons in disc 4.
Attack
Runaway Train
Close-up on a road/rail crossing signal gate. The lights are flashing, signifying an oncoming train. The sky becomes a swirling mass as we see that the enemy is positioned where the intersection would be, if there were a road or rail track. The barriers descend. Small flames appear, marking out the position of the rail line. Close-up on the front of a train, situated on a similar flame track. It releases its steam, and switches its headlight on. It accelerates along the meandering track, heading for the enemy. Eventually it collides, and nothing remains as the flames die. The battlefield fades back in, and the enemy falls to the ground.

Location
Doomtrain must be summoned in the field before joining you. Unlike Diablos, however, you do not need to fight him first. The key item is the Solomon Ring, found at Tear's Point either before Lunatic Pandora or at any time on disc 4. Have at least 6 Malboro Tentacles (available from Malboros), 6 Remedy+ (Alexander's Med LV-Up ability), and 6 Steel Pipes (from Wendigos) in your inventory, then use the Ring.
