Nekhbet

The Nekhbet is a rare enemy in the game Final Fantasy XII. It looks like a regular Cockatrice, but it is unwise to attack it early on in the game, as it is a lot tougher than the regular Cockatrices.

Bestiary Entry
Derivation: Cockatrice

''Cockatrice that grows many times faster than common stock. This strain, as yet unrecorded in the Camp annals, is hunted in the Dalmasca Estersand.''

Requirement
At least one Cockatrice must be killed for it to spawn (20% chance). Nekhbet may spawn in one of three locations in the Sand-swept Naze: the westernmost point, the central area, or the eastern area close to the Murmuring Defile section on the world map.

Etymology
In Egyptian Mythology, Nekhbet was an early, predynastic, local goddess who was the patron of the city of Nekheb, her name meaning of Nekheb. She was seen as a goddess who had chosen to adopt the city, and consequently depicted as a vulture, a creature that the Egyptians thought only existed as females, having to adopt children. The priestesses of Nekhbet were called muu (mothers), and wore robes of vulture feathers.
