Gil Snapper (Final Fantasy XII)

The Gil Snapper is a Rank III Elite Mark from Final Fantasy XII. The bill for the Gil Snapper is only available if the player has joined Clan Centurio, as it is with all Elite Marks.

The petitioner for the bill is Nanau, who can be found in the Crystal Glade-part of the Giza Plains, but only during the Rains. The player will be given a special urn to capture the spirit of the Gil Snapper, who is called the Lord of Rain by Nanau's tribe, and be told that the Gil Snapper resides in the part of Giza Plains known as the "Tracks of the Beast". However, because of the Rains, there is no way of getting there. The player will then have to run around Giza Plains, locating white trees, which can be cut down and will drift to form a bridge between Gizas South Bank and the Tracks of the Beast.

Upon arrival, the Seeq who had talked to the player in the Clan building will appear to help. There is a requirement for the Gil Snapper to appear though. It has to rain heavily. However, the player can just enter and exit the Tracks until the Seeq says that the mark has appeard. Take note though, unlike most other turtles that appear in the Plains, the Gil Snapper is not weak against Fire, but instead, it is weak against Thunder and it will absorb Ice. It advised not to go up agains this Elite Mark until the party's level average is approx. 30, and that the player has bought at least the Thundara spell (and of course the license for it). Upon defeat, the player is awarded 20 License Points.

The report can only be made during the Dry, as Nanau will have left the Plains to join her tribe members in celebrating the defeat of the Gil Snapper.
