Abadon (Final Fantasy VIII)

Abadon is a boss in Final Fantasy VIII. It is fought in the Great Salt Lake outside of Esthar. This boss is actually undead so it can be treated like any other undead enemy and be damaged by restorative actions. Abadon is also fought while Edea is in the party, and it is essentially the only chance that the player has to see Edea's power against a formidable enemy.

The Abadon has no real significance to the story. In the game, it seemingly jumps up from a canyon and instantly fights the party. If anything, it can be considered the City of Esthar's guardian.

Battle
Abadon is an undead monster, meaning Holy and Fire-elemental attacks will do massive amounts of damage. Its Lick will deal damage plus inflict Curse status. When Abadon stands up, its Vitality and Spirit will increase. It will also use the Confuse ability at this stage. Squall will also point out:

'An undead monster...' 'Use recovery-related magic and items.'

Thus, using healing spells, items and commands will damage it. It can be killed in a single hit with Alexander's Revive command, an X-Potion, or with an Elixir
