OK, I got into a fight with ZoneEater in the WoR, see? Well, I had Relm, Terra, Mog, and Gau. I had Relm Sketch the hideous beast. ZE just did a weird Icey spell on her (everyone else got sucked into ZE already) that froze her, and now, all he does is cast Demi on her over and over and over. It's freaky. I know of the Sketch glitch, but could this also have to do with ZE weird kinda battle script? Thanks to all who have any ideas.

There are some monsters on the Floating Continent that cast the freeze status.
If you waited for it to kill her, would you end up in the cave or on the island (though you'd have to wait until her HP got to 1)?

Well, that's the thing. He keeps just casting Demi, she can't do anything (or run away even) and Demi isn't even hurting her! That's a weird part I forgot to say...

It's probably a glitch. A lot of weird stuff can happen when using Sketch on any monster, whether they're invisible or not. Look at the Zone Eater battle script below. There's a 33.3% chance he'll cast Cold Dust when you use the Fight command on him. You didn't use the Fight command, you used Sketch. His normal attack pattern is to cast Demi 33.3% of the time, and Engulf 66.6% of the time. If he casts Demi more than 5 times in a row, it's probably a glitch. I have experienced battle script lock-ups where monsters repeat the same attack over and over due to using a save state in a battle. You've probably activated the same glitch by using Sketch.

(Why they put the same line in there twice is beyond me.)

Rand. spell: Demi or Engulf or Engulf
Wait until the attack sequence is called upon again, then continute (reset targetting)
Rand. spell: Demi or Engulf or Engulf
End first wave of attack
If monster has been attacked by cmd: Magic or Magic, will target attacker
Rand. spell: Nothing or Nothing or Engulf
End if
If monster has been attacked by cmd: Fight or Fight, will target attacker
Rand. spell: Nothing or Nothing or Cold Dust
End if
End
