Catoblepas (Final Fantasy VIII)

Catoblepas is an optional boss from Final Fantasy VIII found in Ultimecia Castle's Treasure Room.

How to Find
To access the Treasure Room the player must first find the Treasury Key from the fountain area. The key is invisible, but can be found by clicking around the ground around the fountain. The treasury can be found in the hallway leading to the lift, when the camera angle is tilted. The treasury is on the left of that screen.

Battle
Catoblepas is a hulking Behemoth who has an affinity with Thunder. His strength is high (the Deadly Horn attack can do around 7,000 damage), however he has quite low Defense which can be further reduced with Meltdown. As a Final Attack, Catoblepas will cast Meteor, which will do around 2,000 damage to all party members.

In the English language version, if the party failed to acquire Alexander during the second battle with Edea, it can be drawn from Catoblepas.
