IX
Long ago, it was sealed away by the people of Coffinwell to keep it from infecting the residents with a horrible disease. However, after the earthquake at the beginning, the Quarantomb was un-sealed, freeing Ragin' Contagion and cursing the habitants of Coffinwell once again. During the fight, Dr. Phlegming fixes the pot that once contained the contagion, sealing it away once again. The first thing he says to the player is, "Sakes alive, ya pesky critter. I guess I have to send your sorry hide to the bone orchard once and for all!" though he says this every time the player confronts him for battle.

Description: The very essence of illness, it was sealed up in the Quarantomb for a century, but came back to curse Coffinwell once more.
This toxic pox was created to ensure that the nameless terror that slept in the Quarantomb stayed sealed inside forever. | |||||

It is recommended to be Level 18-20 for the Ragin' Contagion, though this is relatively easy to achieve by grinding using Metal slimes in the Quarantomb. The Ragin' Contagion is the first boss to attack twice per turn, and also uses debuff magic such as Deceleratle and Kasap, which you can counter; Mages can use Acceleratle by this point, and your Priest can use Buff, though it is single-targeting and so not really worth trying. The Contagion's regular attack can inflict Poison, so have some Antidotal Herbs or the Squelch spell handy.
The Contagion is weak to Fire, and so Mages can cast Frizz while your physical fighters attack and your Priest keeps them healed.

Trivia
Although the people of Coffinwell fall ill, the Ragin' Contagion is never seen attacking the town. However, the Ragin' Contagion's sprite is seen emitting a smoke of some sort, which could mean the illness is airborne in nature.
