Sahagin

The Sahagin (サハギン Sahagin) is a recurring enemy from the series. It appears in most games, and often has stronger counterparts. The Sahagin is usually portrayed as a fish that walks on land, though in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX, they appear as spear-carrying turtles who can hide in their shells to nullify physical damage. While they are usually aquatic, in Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VII there is a species of Sahagin that lives in the desert.
