Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Cúchulainn reappears, along with the other Espers, in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. He is the Rank 2 Physical Water summon, unlike the other Scions, who are all Rank 3. As a result, and in contrast with the other Scions, Cúchulainn has a small sprite and can exist as multiple instances in one party. There is also no condition to unlocking him, save for reaching his node on the Ring of Pacts.

He uses Malaise and Blight, which Poisons an enemy.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Cúchulainn appears as a Totema. He can be called by anyone equipping the Cuffs of the Impure King when the Smash Gauge is full.

Etymology
Cúchulainn is an Irish mythological hero who appears in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, as well as in Scottish and Manx folklore. The son of the god Lugh and Deichtine, sister of the king of Ulster, he was originally named Sétanta, but gained his better-known name as a child after he killed Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence, and offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared. At the age of seventeen he defended Ulster single-handedly against the armies of queen Medb of Connacht in the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge. It was prophesied that his great deeds would give him everlasting fame, but that his life would be short - one reason he is compared to the Greek hero Achilles. He is known for his terrifying battle frenzy or "warp spasm", in which he becomes an unrecognisable monster who knows neither friend nor foe. He fights from his chariot, driven by his loyal charioteer Láeg, and drawn by his horses, Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend.
