Ark (summon)

Ark (アーク, Āku) is an airship-like Eidolon in Final Fantasy IX. It attacks Zidane and his party in Oeilvert, as they obtain the Gulug Stone for Kuja. Later in the game, the party may locate two Pumice Pieces, which can then be forged into Pumice by Hades at his Synthesis Shop in Memoria. Pumice can also be received by beating Ozma, the most powerful enemy in the game. The amount of damage Ark can do is equal to 106 plus the total number of Lapis Lazulis in the party's inventory.

Etymology
In the Bible, Noah carried seven pairs of each clean animal species and one pair of each unclean animal species, each pair a male and female, into a giant ship called the Ark. The Ark was built by God's command in order to survive the deluge He sent to purge the world from the sins committed by mankind.
