Babil is one of three enemies in ''Final Fantasy XII'' that is cited to have an MP value greater than 999 in official guides. However, one of these three, [[Elvoret (Final Fantasy XII)|Elvoret]], can only be syphoned for 999 MP, indicating this may be the maximum MP value for enemies. Because Babil has Safety, its MP can't be syphoned, and thus its exact MP value is hard to check.

Babil is a construct/golem-type enemy in Final Fantasy XII found in the Necrohol of Nabudis guarding the boss rooms. They sometimes drop the Runeblade.

Bestiary entry

Page 1: Observations

Priests of high enough rank to speak directly to the gods are alone allowed to communicate with these executors of divine will. Their bodies are fashioned of a curious crystalline metal, the composition and nature of which is beyond modern metallurgical knowledge. When they descend to the earth from their home in the heavens, they strike swiftly, and with malice apparent. It is thought the babil's numbers are growing, and some scholars warn that a great reckoning may soon be at hand.

Page 2: Morgen's Research Notes

The emissaries of the gods descend to us from the paradise far above the sky we know. Therefore must they travel between the land and the sky, for which they use the wondrous metal einherjarium, otherwise known as cloudstone. The babil, servants of the gods, have bodies rich in this substance. How many have tried to steal the cloudstone from them and thereby reach paradise? How many have the gods stricken down for that heresy?

Stats

Babil is one of three enemies in Final Fantasy XII that is cited to have an MP value greater than 999 in official guides. However, one of these three, Elvoret, can only be syphoned for 999 MP, indicating this may be the maximum MP value for enemies. Because Babil has Safety, its MP can't be syphoned, and thus its exact MP value is hard to check.

Etymology

The Babil is named after the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel is from a story from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament/Torah, as well as other various ancient documents. The story tells of how early humanity began construction on a great tower that would extend to the heavens. However, God determined "nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them" so confused their language and scattered them over the face of all earth, leaving the tower and its city abandoned.

It being a golem may indicate that it also draws inspiration from the Giant of Babil from Final Fantasy IV, as well as its Rare Game version, "Tower", referring to the Tower of Babil. The "cloudstone" they use alludes to Vagrant Story.
