Gargant

The Gargant is a large Ant-Beetle hybrid from Final Fantasy IX, which is about the size of a small car. It is tame, and utilised as transport. It crawls along the roots of the Iifa Tree hanging upside down through tunnels, carrying its passengers either on its back, or in a carriage that hangs from its back.

It is called by feeding it dandilion type flowers. Despite its size it can be spooked by even bigger monsters, such as the Ralvurahva. It is used several times during the story, in Gargan Roo, and later Fossil Roo. The player's party is safe from enemies whilst riding the gargant, although you do encounter bosses in Gargan Roo.
