Cloud of Darkness

The Cloud of Darkness is the Final Boss of Final Fantasy III. Also known as the Dark Cloud, it is summoned from the Dark World by Zande, but is too strong for him to control. The heroes must pursue it back into the Dark World and defeat it after Zande is defeated. They encounter it twice: first in a battle they cannot win, and second at the very end of the game. The Cloud of Darkness is known for its Flare Wave attack. The Totema Famfrit from Final Fantasy Tactics is loosely based on the Cloud of Darkness.
