The '''Adamantoise''' {{J|アダマンタイマイ|Adamantaimai}} is a recurring enemy in the [[Final Fantasy series|''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 that utterly dwarf the party that are fought as [[superboss]]es. The Adamantoise's debut appearance was in ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'', as the [[boss]] of the [[Snow Cave (Final Fantasy II)|Snow Cave]]. It is often related to the powerful material [[Adamantite (item)|Adamantite]], which it commonly yields as an [[item drop]].

[[Addy the Adamantoise]] is a minor character, appearing briefly in the main storyline and as part of [[Rikku/Other appearances#World of Final Fantasy|Rikku's]] [[Intervention quest|Intervention]] story.
=====Addy the Adamantoise=====
 
:CV: William Knight / Hiroshi Iwasaki
 
 
:Notes: Laid-back and grandfatherly / Cares for his friends / Fearsome when angry / Commands respect
 
 
;A Series Regular
 
:Having first floated onto the scene in FINAL FANTASY's early days and stayed in fans' hearts since, the adamantoise is the very meaning of longevity. He's huge and he's tough, and it's hard to forget a monster like that.
 
 
;Hard Workers
 
:Most Grymoirian adamantoises are quite meek and mellow when compared to those found in other worlds. This makes them a regular target of bullying, and the situation that Lann and Reynn found the minimantoise in was unfortunately not an isolated incident.
 
 
:When a little minimantoise finally transfigs into the massive adamantoise, they gain significant strength. But big and strong though they are, their gentle nature gives them an inherent disadvantage in the dangerous waters of the Low Seas. Sadly, not many survive for very long.
 
 
:Addy, the adamantoise the twins met, has managed to fend off these dangers long enough to grow to a truly gargantuan size. This he must use, day and night, to defend those he cares about from the Low Seas' many threats.
 
   
  +
Adamantoise is a [[Mega Mirage|Mega]] [[Mirage (World of Final Fantasy)|Mirage]] from the ''Mantoise'' group. It can be [[Transfiguration|transfigured]] from a [[Minimantoise]] with the [[Adamantoise Memento]].

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.
