Brachioraidos

Brachioraidos, also known as Vlakorados, Th'uban, Brachiosaur, Brachosaur, and Bracsaur, is a recurring enemy in the series. It often appears as either a very powerful enemy fought late in the game, a boss, or even as a Superboss.

Final Fantasy IV


Brachioraidos is an optional boss fought on the second to last floor of the Lunar Ruins in the Game Boy Advance and later remakes of the game, which drops the most powerful shield in the game when defeated, the Hero's Shield. It fights using exceptionally powerful abilities such as Scorch, Object 199, and Maelstrom, as well as mimicking Bahamut by counting down to Megaflare. If attacked while counting down, it will unleash a powerful series of attacks upon the party after casting Protect and Reflect on itself.

Final Fantasy VI
Brachiosaur is an enemy fought in the Dinosaur forest in the World of Ruin, being the game's most powerful enemy. It fights using powerful physical attacks in addition to Meteor, Disaster, and Ultima, which can easily destroy a party that's not at a very high level. The Brachiosaur is capable of dropping the very rare Celestriad and has valuable Ribbons that can be stolen.

Final Fantasy VII
Vlakorados is an enemy fought on the world map outside of Bone Village and in the grass area near Icicle Inn. It has an astronomically high HP for an enemy at the stage of the game it can be fought at, rivaling that of enemies at the end of the game. While it has high HP, it is not an exceptionally powerful enemy, and is vulnerable to various statuses as well as Gravity-elemental attacks such as Demi and Laser. Vlakorados are exceptionally important enemies as they carry the Carob Nut.

Final Fantasy X
Th'uban is a superboss fought in the Monster Arena as part of the Original Creation set of monsters after breeding six Species Conquest monsters. It is an exceptionally powerful boss, boasting high physical attacks, the Condemn skill which is used as a counter to attacks and can inflict Delay as well as remove buffs, and its powerful Rainbow and Convergence attacks. In addition, it can also cast Regen, Protect, Shell, and Haste on itself.
