Sahagin

The Sahagin is a recurring enemy from the series. It appears in most games, and often has stronger counterparts. The Sahagin is usually portrayed as a fish that walks on land, though in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX, they appear as spear-carrying turtles who can hide in their shells to nullify physical damage. While they are usually aquatic, in some games there is a species of Sahagin that lives in the desert.

Although the Sahagin have little love for the other races of Eorzea, not all desire conflict. Among those, Clutchfather Novv believes continual warring against Limsa Lominsa in the wake of the Calamity is suicidal.
