FF2 Adamantoise Artwork

Artwork by Yoshitaka Amano for Final Fantasy II.

The Adamantoise (アダマンタイマイ, Adamantaimai?) is a recurring enemy in the Final Fantasy series. It is a large turtle with high defense and strength, but sometimes with low magical defense. Later entries in the series include larger Adamantoises as superbosses that utterly dwarf the party. The Adamantoise's debut appearance was in Final Fantasy II, as the boss of the Snow Cave. It is often related to the powerful material Adamantite, which it commonly yields as an item drop.
