Air Cutter Remora

The Air Cutter Remora is the first boss to be fought in Final Fantasy XII.

While on a rescue mission to save their king, Dalmascan knights including Basch and Reks were ambushed by an Air Cutter Remora codenamed "Tonberry". Even though proving to be a challenge against the Dalmascan knights, Basch puts an end to the Tonberry by unleashing his Mist Quickening Fulminating Darkness.

''Dr. Cid has been working on developing thought-driven combat weapons, called "rooks," for some time now. Test models saw their first combat use in a recent incident at the Draklor Laboratory.''

Three new models have been produced based on data collected buring the Draklor Laboratory incident.

Gun turrets placed at the keel, and turrets on the deck make this an effective weapon against air and ground threats.

Battle
At this stage, the player controls a Level 3 Reks, who is equipped with a Mythril Sword and a shield, and a knowledge of basic White Magic and Black Magic. There are also other Dalmascan soldiers, including a powerful Basch who has an attack power higher than Reks. All accompanying Dalmascan soldiers will hand out infinite potions to those with low HP.

The Air Cutter Remora will unleash its special attack "Remora Strike" at least three times in the battle, according to how much HP it has left. When Air Cutter Remora has only 40% HP left; Basch will come forward to unleash his Mist Quickening "Fulminating Darkness", ending the battle.
