Proto-behemoth (Final Fantasy XIII-2)

Proto-behemoth is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Like its previously fought behemoth counterparts, he is capable of standing on its hind legs, and gaining a saw-blade.

They can be summoned by the enemy Mimi in Academia 500AF. At this point in the game, it is highly advisable NOT to attempt to defeat this opponent. He is capable of defeating Sentinels in 2 to 3 blows once he stands on his hind legs. A way to postpone this effect as long as possible is to set-up either a COM-RAV-SEN paradigm or COM-COM-SEN in a cross organization (Offensive Screen-X). Use either of these Paradigms to defeat the Mimi and Bamapamas that are accompanying it. Immediately switch to Attrition (SAB-MED-SEN) and cast Deshell followed by an onslaught of Wound. Since he stands when he has a percentage relative to his max HP, casting Wound holds off his standing up until he has a VERY small amount of his HP left. This doesn't guarantee you've won by any means though. You should then end the battle as soon as possibly by staggering (RAV-RAV-SEN) and healing quickly (MED-MED-SEN)
