Ixion is the Lightning-elemental aeon obtained at in the Djose Temple. Ixion resembles a unicorn and has high defense and magic defense attributes. He can exceed maximum damage when Kimahri upgrades his Celestial Weapon, the Spirit Lance. Ixion's Fayth form is voiced by Roger L. Jackson.

Ixion's special move is Aerospark, where Ixion will fire two discs that collide with a single enemy, causing non-elemental damage. The attack also negates certain special magical effects such as Protect, Shell, Reflect, and Haste.

Ixion's Overdrive is Thor's Hammer, where Ixion charges electrical energy on the tip of his horn and shoots it toward the enemy, lifting it into the air. While still connected by an electrical current, Ixion sends a blast of electricity to the enemy, causing lightning damage.

In the International and PAL versions Dark Ixion can be encountered in the Thunder Plains and must be fought twice in succession to be defeated, although the party can exit the Plains and leave the second fight for a later time if they wish.

Ixion makes an appearance as a summon. The Soil Charge Triad (Soil is like the colored bullet of a Magun, used to summon creatures) needed to summon Ixion is:

Followed by saying: "Cry! Summoned creature! Ixion!"
 * The deep sleep that envelops death, Steel Gray!
 * The rising of boiling blood, Heat Crimson!
 * The brilliance that pierces the darkness, Lightning Yellow!

In the English audio version, the Soil Charge Triad was changed to: Followed by saying: "Howl! I summon you! Ixion!"
 * The sleep that engulfs death, Steel Gray!
 * Bubbling and boiling blood, Heat Crimson!
 * The light that penetrates darkness, Lightning Yellow!

In "Moogle: Nostalgic Memories," Kaze summoned forth a "zero style" version of Ixion with the aid of Moogle Kupo. As with all such upgraded summons, the Soil Charge remained the same.

Etymology
was a king of the Lapiths (an ancient tribe of Thessaly) and the son of either the god Ares, Antion, or the notorious evildoer Phlegyas in Greek mythology.

Ixion was summoned to the table of the gods, but rather then being grateful, he immediately tried to seduce Zeus's wife, Hera. Zeus stopped them and then tested Ixion by trying to seduce him with a fake Hera made from a cloud. Ixion slept with her, and was later punished by being strapped to a flaming wheel that flew around the world forever. Meanwhile, the fake Hera gave birth to the Centaurs, thus the reason why Ixion is portrayed by a horse-like creature.
