Gerrids (Japanese: ギラファ, Girafa) are insectoid enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Although the term seems to be derived from water striders (family Gerridae), they more closely resemble fleas. They can be found in Oblivia, Sylvalum, and Cauldros. Destroying a gerrid's back will release a toxic cloud, causing the gerrid to gain an ether-attribute ranged spike and Calm I buff.
