In Final Fantasy VIII, "Runaway Train" (果てしなき暴走) is the unique ability of the Guardian Force Doomtrain (グラシャラボラス). This skill is a Poison-elemental attack that damages all enemies and inflicts a multitude of status ailments, including Sleep, Poison, Darkness, Silence, Slow, Stop, Berserk, Confuse, Doom, Petrifying, and Vit 0. Doomtrain is an optional, hidden summon that requires specific conditions to obtain, including collecting the Solomon Ring and other items. Doomtrain itself doesn't have elemental affinities but can learn various elemental and status attack and defense junctions, along with abilities that enhance summon magic and GF HP. It is notable for learning "Auto-Shell" naturally and being the first GF to learn SumMag+ and GFHP+ abilities at 40%. Acquiring and utilizing Doomtrain is a challenging and rewarding aspect of Final Fantasy VIII, with its "Runaway Train" ability providing powerful crowd control in battles.
