Dark Bahamut (Final Fantasy IV 2D)

Dark Bahamut is a boss in Final Fantasy IV. It guards the Ragnarok, Cecil Harvey's strongest weapon in the original release of the game. Dark Bahamut begins the battle with Mega Flare, and then casts Reflect on itself and bounces Flare spells onto the party. However, its power is still considerably below Bahamut's - Flare is typically not fatal, and it is possible to survive Mega Flare as well. It is important to note that Dark Bahamut counters summoning with another Mega Flare, severely limiting Rydia's potential in the fight - although she can still summon Bahamut to pierce Reflect, this will cause Dark Bahamut to counter with Mega Flare.
