Template:Sideicon

Conqueror of the skies, Bahamut has known many names; the Dragon King, the Hallowed Father, the First Sire.
Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) Summon Compendium

Bahamut (バハムート, Bahamūto?), sometimes known by his epithet The Dragon King, is one of the most prominent summons in the Final Fantasy series. Bahamut has appeared in several installments, as well as his own game, Bahamut Lagoon. He also appeared as an enemy in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars with the name of Bahamutt, in addition to being the namesake for the Sky Fortress Bahamut in Final Fantasy XII. Compilation of Final Fantasy VII has several species of Bahamut. A Bahamut-like summon called Gun Dragon appears in Final Fantasy: Unlimited.

His signature attack, Megaflare, sometimes translated as Sun Flare, is a great breath of energy concentrated into a beam and fired to opposition, which deals non-elemental magic damage that ignores defense and evasion. Megaflare has variations corresponding to different appearances of Bahamut, including Teraflare, Gigaflare and Exaflare.

Bahamut is typically considered the strongest among storyline summons and more often than not, the player must prove his/her worth by winning a battle against Bahamut himself, or, rarely, another storyline boss.

Appearances

Final Fantasy

Main article: Bahamut (Final Fantasy)

Bahamut is found underneath the Cardia Islands. He cannot be summoned, as there are no Summoners, but plays a minor role by promoting the player's characters into a new job after they have acquired a Rat's Tail from the Citadel of Trials. The new classes are not only stronger, but all but the Master can learn additional magic. Most, if not all, can equip more types of equipment.

The class upgrades are:

Final Fantasy III

For battle information, see Bahamut (Final Fantasy III boss)

The Warriors of Light travel to Canaan where they find a girl waiting for her love, Desch. The heroes find him in Bahamut's nest on Dragon's Peak, after being captured by the dragon to be fed to his offspring. The boy flees as the party battles Bahamut. This first battle cannot be won and the heroes must escape.

Later, after obtaining the Invincible, the heroes may visit Bahamut's Lair to battle him. When defeated, the heroes are rewarded with the Level 8 Summon Magic spell Bahamur to summon him. This is the first time Bahamut can be used as a summon, and the first time he is a boss.

White summoning: Aura: casts Haste on the party.
Black summoning: Rend: Instant KO to one enemy if successful.
High summoning: Mega Flare: deals non-elemental damage to all enemies.

Final Fantasy IV

The Hallowed Father... The First Sire, Hallowed Father to all Eidolons, watches over his children from on high. So indomitable is His strength that He has never known defeat. None could hope to emerge victorious against Him, save perhaps a warrior capable of rising to the heavens in order to deliver the felling stroke.
Eidolon Library

For battle information, see Bahamut (Final Fantasy IV 2D) or Bahamut (Final Fantasy IV 3D)

Bahamut is the "God of Eidolons", and lives on the Red Moon in the Lair of the Father awaiting Rydia and the party to come and challenge him so Rydia would be able to summon him. To be given this challenge, Rydia must already be in possession of the Leviathan and Asura. Bahamut has two guards who take the form of children, and he has admitted Rydia was the first he ever accepted. His summon has a casting time of 3, and costs 60 MP (99 MP in the 3D versions). In the Easy Type version, the casting time was reduced to 2.

Lunar Bahamut challenges Kain Highwind during his trial in the Lunar Ruins in Final Fantasy IV Advance and Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection. Also, Dark Bahamut is an optional boss in the Lunar Subterrane.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-

For battle information, see Bahamut (Final Fantasy IV -Interlude- enemy)

Bahamut returns as a Summon spell for Rydia that deals massive non-elemental damage to all enemies at the cost of 60 MP. He is only available during the final battle.

Bahamut is the last Eidolon summoned by Rydia? after the first four Eidolons are defeated. She tries to finish off the party with Bahamut, but the real Rydia appears and summons the Mist Dragon to knock some sense into Bahamut who dismisses himself from battle.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

For battle information, see Bahamut (The After Years boss)

The Mysterious Girl summons Bahamut to defeat Cecil, allowing her to seize control of Baron Castle. Bahamut is fought in the final chapter alongside the Mysterious Girl, and is the last boss before the Creator. If Rydia has recovered Leviathan and Asura as summons, Bahamut will turn on the Mysterious Girl and destroy her before returning to Rydia. Otherwise, Bahamut must be slain and will not be available to summon.

Template:See Also There are several species of Bahamut, which Professor Hojo refers to as "Bahamut strains": Bahamut, Neo Bahamut and Bahamut ZERO.

Summoning Bahamut, Neo Bahamut or Bahamut ZERO against Emerald Weapon has an effect on its AI, making it less likely to use Aire Tam Storm. All Bahamuts ignore the target's Magic Defense when calculating damage.

The Bahamut Summon Materia is found in the Temple of the Ancients after defeating the Red Dragon. It costs 100 MP to summon and unleashes a magical piercing attack, Mega Flare. Bahamut's spell power is equal to 4.0625x the base magic damage. Bahamut is one of the summons available in the "Mt. Corel" PC version demo.

AP for level	20000	50000	80000	120000

Tetra Master

Template:FFIX Tetra Master

Final Fantasy X

Main article: Bahamut (Final Fantasy X)

Bahamut is an aeon, and plays a major role in the story. He sleeps in Bevelle Temple where summoners can obtain him on their pilgrimage. His special attack is Impulse, a non-elemental attack which causes moderate damage to all enemies, and his Overdrive is Mega Flare. Bahamut breaks the damage limit automatically.

Final Fantasy X-2

Main article: Bahamut (Final Fantasy X-2)

Bahamut is fought several times as a boss, and plays a minor role in the story, as his fayth speaks to Yuna.

Final Fantasy XI

Bahamut is present as a plot-based Avatar. He is a prominent figure in the Chains of Promathia storyline, and is unavailable to players as a summon.

After Emptiness disrupts the crystal line, Bahamut warns the people of Vana'diel that the Keeper of the Apocalypse's arrival is near. As the Wyrmking, he commands his minions to "let the blood of the gods spill forth on the soil of their creation".

Later, having been sent to Cape Riverne to investigate the sudden uplifting of the area, the adventurer, along with Prishe and Ulmia, arrive at the Monarch Linn and encounter Nag'molada chanting the Memoria de la Stôna. Bahamut appears, identifies Nag'molada as a Kuluu, and discusses with him the oncoming flood of Emptiness, believed to be unleashed by man.

After a short battle against guards, Prishe interrupts their conversation. Selh'teus appears, urging that Bahamut's predictions of the end of mankind are mistaken. Bahamut exits. Much later, the adventurer, along with Ulmia and Tenzen, return to the Monarch Linn to learn the truth of the recent happenings from Bahamut. Bahamut scoffs at their determination, mocking their "incompleteness" as the dream-keeper Diabolos had, and directs the wyrm Ouryu to attack the party.

The group forces Ouryu to retreat, but Bahamut still refuses to heed the party's request. Long before he had made a pact with a young boy should the day when the Keeper of the Apocalypse would return. Acknowledging that the time has come, he commands his army of wyrms to gather in preparation for the coming salvation of the land, and leaves the group with a grim message: "Children of the dawn, your end is near!"

A storyline mission available after finishing the first two expansions features Bahamut as a boss. Those who complete this mission can take part in an optional battle with Bahamut that formerly ranked among the most difficult prior to the level cap increase from 75, not in the least because he summons most of the game's other wyrms to aid him. Ever since an update in which Bahamut gradually builds up resistance to certain types of magic, the number of groups that have defeated his second form has dwindled.

Bahamut is also the name of a server.

Bahamut is an Astral god in the world of Eos. Depicted as a male humanoid in dark draconian armor whose wings are made of swords, Bahamut is said to have picked the first Oracle from the land of Tenebrae, giving them their traditional trident and the powers that are passed through their bloodline. Likewise, Bahamut is said to have given the Crystal to the king of Lucis, and thus would be the originator of the magical powers the Lucis Caelum lineage wields.

Unlike the other Astrals, Bahamut can only be summoned during a specific scripted boss encounter. He uses Ultima Sword, an attack that causes several massive blades to rain down on the enemy. In a later update, he appears as part of a cutscene where all five Astrals aid the protagonists during their approach to the final battle. In the multiplayer expansion Comrades, Bahamut acts as the final boss.

Another Bahamut covers the mission's Class Zero members as they charge at the Militesi soldiers to buy Caetuna time to summon Alexander. Summoning an Eidolon kills the summoner, and thus the class taught in the summoning arts at Akademeia has numerous casualties and are only deployed as a last resort.

Bahamut is obtained as a summon by completing the mission Operation Vulturnus in the second playthrough of the 5th Chapter. His abilities include an aerial charge, a stomping attack and his signature technique, Mega Flare.

DFFBahamut — The automatic version of Bahamut.

DFFBahamut2 — The manual version of Bahamut.

Bahamut appears as a summon that casts Aura on the user, which repeatedly increases their Bravery points over a certain period of time.

Bahamut can be summoned by two distinct ways: automatically, which summons it immediately when the summoner's Brave becomes lower than half of their original Bravery base, increasing their BP by periods of 20 and showing its Final Fantasy X artwork, and manually, where the summoner's BP is increased by periods of 40 and its Final Fantasy III artwork appears. Bahamut's auto version is obtained in the third stage of the Destiny Odyssey VIII storyline and its manual version is obtained in the same odyssey's second stage. The dialogue Bahamut says to the player is based on what he says to the party in Final Fantasy IV when he is beaten.

Yuna can summon the Final Fantasy X incarnation of Bahamut to perform either Impulse or Mega Flare.

Bahamut also returns as a summonstone, with the same function as in Dissidia.

Display the extent of your might and the depth of your courage
Bahamut prior to battle

Bahamut is one of the seven obtainable summons, acquired at the start by random. He rains down bolts of energy or sweeping energy beams. His signature skill is Megaflare, where he targets all three of the enemy team members with radiating beams of light that damage them before exploding. His pre-summon effect is Frenzied Bellow, which increases the gauge gain for character-specific EX Skills, and his effect after summoning is Drakenscourge, which, on top of increasing that same gauge gain, also lengthens duration for those skills. When summoned, the controller's sync light turns green. In the console version's story mode, he is confronted by Warrior of Light, Noctis, Cecil and Garland.

As a boss, Bahamut attacks with similar techniques from his summoned incarnation, but also comes with an aerial stomp that produces a shockwave and an orb of energy that deals consecutive hits before exploding and a flying sweep. His HP attack is Megaflare, though it only targets one character. When his HP is halved, his attacks are enhanced and he starts the phase by raining down bolts of energy. He has access to a buff skill called Regal Air and gains new HP attacks in Gigaflare, which targets a character with a powerful explosion that expands outward, and Teraflare, which is similar to his summoned version's Megaflare, except colored differently and the explosion radius lingers on as it expands.

Whilst not physically appearing Yuna can summon her Bahamut's Glyph to use Impulse.

In Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon, he is the final boss in the Chocobo's Memories dungeon, which is a 100-floor dungeon with several checkpoints and a high level difficulty that can be entered through the Chocobo Statue located in the Blue Sky Park, at northwest of the Fountain Piazza in Lostime (renamed Chocobo Park). He is located on the 99th floor, as the vital item which has to be collected—Chocobo's fragments of memories,—are located on the last floor. If beaten, he will drop a magicite which can later be used to summon him in dungeons.

He can also be found in the Guardian of Darkness dungeon by stepping onto a teletransporting tramp, also leaving a magicite after defeated (but finding him is rare, as the tramps could also take the player to Dungeon Hero X's secret shop).

The light that fills up your eyes! Tears of the Rainbow!
The ultimate spirit! Soul Gun Metal!
The helix of my life! Endless White!

In both occurrences, Kaze must turn himself into Endless White, leaving Makenshi to fire the Magun in Unlimited Before and Lisa in the anime series finale.

The villain Pist steals the Magun at one point, and creates the "Ultimate Summon" with it—however, he is unable to handle the energies involved, and it blows up in his face. Pist's Soil Charge Triad is:

The glare of obvious intelligence! Marvelous Orange!
The desire for an endless quest! Maniac Purple!
The promise of a perfect victory! Char-Coral Pink!

The Bahamut SIN figurine, part of the Advent Children "Monster Deluxe" collection, measures approximately 7" tall with a display base, and is sculpted for Kotobukiya by Takayuki Takeya. Bahamut SIN is also part of the Creatures Kai Vol. 1 collection.

Bahamut from Final Fantasy VIII has been released as an action figure that was sold in two colors: fully painted, and in transparent version. In the Japanese version, all Guardian Force figurines contained parts to assemble a Ragnarok figure. Final Fantasy VIII Bahamut has also appeared as part of the first Final Fantasy Master Creatures series and is available in two colors: normal and Tiamat. The Creatures Kai Vol. 2 series includes figurine of the Final Fantasy IX Bahamut.

Made by Kotobukiya, the Final Fantasy X Bahamut figurine depicts the aeon in detail, with a paint job that has a metallic sheen and comes with a display stand.

Perhaps the rarest Bahamut merchandise is the Squall and Bahamut limited hand-crafted coldcast statue, made by Kotobukiya in 1999. Each statue comes with a serial number. The size stands at approximately 400mm.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Bahamut (Arabic بهموت Bahamūt) originated as an enormous whale in ancient pre-Islamic Arabian mythology. Upon Bahamut's back stands a bull with four thousand eyes, ears, noses, mouths, tongues and feet called Kujuta (also spelled "Kuyutha") (compared with the pair of Behemoth and Leviathan). Between each of these is a distance of a 500-year journey. On the back of Kujuta is a mountain of ruby. Atop this mountain is an angel who carries six hells, earth, and seven heavens on its shoulders.

Another version of the Arabic story is that Bahamut is indeed a dragon and he stands on a whale called Liwash.

In modern times, the game Dungeons & Dragons is responsible for reimagining Bahamut as the king of dragons, a benevolent Platinum Dragon; the opposite of the malevolent Tiamat, the five-headed Chromatic Queen of Dragons.

The various versions of Bahamut in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII are named after different Japanese fighter planes: the Ki-202 Shūsui Kai (秋水改), the A6M Reishiki Kanjō Sentōki (零式艦上戦闘機), the J7W1 Shinden (震電), and the A7M Reppū (烈風).

Trivia

Bahamut is the only summon in all its premier Final Fantasy games not to have an element.
The only game in the main series in which Bahamut has not appeared in is Final Fantasy II. The wyvern could be similar to Bahamut because it's also a dragon and the player can use it as an item, which resembles summoning.
According to the Dissidia Final Fantasy museum, Bahamut's evolution throughout the series means he cannot be classified as just a dragon.
Bahamut is often seen as the most powerful and iconic summon in franchise.

Bahamut was defeated by the Allagan weapon [[Omega (enemy)|Omega]], and was later incarcerated inside [[Dalamud]], an artificial satellite orbiting [[Hydaelyn]], for the purpose of harnessing the solar energy needed for [[Xande (Final Fantasy XIV)|Emperor Xande]] to forge his covenant with the [[Cloud of Darkness (Final Fantasy XIV)|Cloud of Darkness]]. This ended the Allagan Empire with a great earthquake and ushered of the Fourth Umbral Era. The truth of Dalmud's nature was forgotten with many believing it to be a natural secondary moon, "Menphina's Loyal Hound."
-[[File:Bahamut XIV Profile.png|200px|left|thumb|Bahamut emerges from Dalamud.]]
-The knowledge of the moon being passed down his family for generations, the Garlean Empire's [[Nael Van Darnus]] schemes to bring down Dalamud on Eorzea via Project Meteor to wipe out the realm's Primals and inhabitants. Though Nael seemingly died to fulfill that desire, Dalamud continued its descent with Bahamut breaking free by the time the [[Battle of Carteneau]] occurs. Enraged after eons of duress, Bahamut begins the [[Seventh Umbral Era]] by unleashing his wrath upon the realm. With the [[Circle of Knowing]] aiding him in praying for assistance from Eorzea's deities, [[the Twelve]], [[Louisoix Leveilleur|Louisoix]] attempts to recapture Bahamut in a new, Dalamud-like structure. Bahamut negates the nearly complete seal and uses a [[Teraflare]] on his potential jailer that would terraform the land.
-[[File:Bahamut_Head.png|thumb|The head of Bahamut is found in the Binding Coil of Bahamut.]]
-Bahamut disappeared without a trace in the aftermath of the chaos. After the defeat of [[Gaius Van Baelsar]] and the declaration of the Seventh Astral Era in ''The Realm Reborn'', the [[Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy XIV)|adventurer]] is directed to the [[Binding Coil of Bahamut]] where it is revealed that the Elder Primal's body was damaged by Louisoix after his transition into Phoenix. The captive dragons of Meracydia within the Coil are subjected to unending agony to maintain the Elder Primal's physical form, and Bahamut is slowly regenerating before he can resume his attack on humanity. An incarnation dubbed [[Bahamut Prime]] is fought in the [[Final Coil of Bahamut]] within the crystal of Bahamut himself before the Elder Primal is finally allowed to rest in peace.

-In the ''Heavensward'' expansion, it is revealed that the Primal version of Bahamut was created by [[Tiamat]] under great distress when the [[Ascian]]s approached her with means to summon him. She agreed to do so to get revenge against the Allagans, but learned that the creature she summoned was not her brother and [[Midgardsormr (Final Fantasy XIV)|Midgardsormr]]'s son, and remains a willing captive in [[Azys Lla]] as penance for her folly, driven by eternal guilt.
-After clearing the Lv. 70 Summoner job quest, ''An Art For The Living'', the adventurer can summon a version of Bahamut called Demi Bahamut, a large, glowing egi-like version of Bahamut Prime. Unlike the egis, Demi Bahamut requires the Dreadwyrm Trance expanded gauge to be filled, either from using Deathflare or letting it run out through the Enhanced Dreadwyrm Trance trait. Once either are used are twice, Demi Bahamut can be called upon to battle until the gauge runs out. Demi Bahamut attacks with Wyrmwave whenever the summoner uses any action and has its own separate Enkindle command which causes Bahamut to execute Akh Morn. Summoning Demi Bahamut will call away any currently summoned egi and will return immediately once Demi Bahamut has left.

 As a boss, Bahamut attacks with similar techniques from his summoned incarnation, but also comes with an aerial stomp that produces a shockwave and an orb of energy that deals consecutive hits before exploding and a flying sweep. His HP attack is Megaflare, though it only targets one character. When his HP is halved, his attacks are enhanced and he starts the phase by raining down bolts of energy. He has access to a buff skill called Regal Air and gains new HP attacks in Gigaflare, which targets a character with a powerful explosion that expands outward, and Teraflare, which is similar to his summoned version's Megaflare, except colored differently and the explosion radius lingers on as it expands.

-;Bahamut
-:CV: Fred Tatasciore / Masahiro Kobayashi
-:Notes: One of the Pleiad / Anger management issues / Visits Nine Wood Hills to find Lann and Reynn
-;A Series Regular
-:The classic of classics, Bahamut has had a place in the FINAL FANTASY universe since the very beginning. "King of Dragons," "The First Sire," "Hallowed Father to all Eidolons"—let's just say he's managed to collect a lot of imposing names over the years.
-:And it's no wonder players keep welcoming him back with open arms. He's a dragon. With wings. And he breathes fire—fire so hot that it's [[Megaflare|''mega'' fire]]. Plus people keep giving him cool prefixes and suffixes like "[[Neo Bahamut|Neo]]" and "[[Bahamut ZERO|Zero]]." No eidolon has ever had it so good.
-:Naturally, with a flashy history like that, the Grymoirian Bahamut also had to be dialed up to eleven.
-;Tiababylo
-:You might think the name comes from "[[Tiamat]]" and "Babylon" or something like that, but we can assure you, it's utter nonsense. Probably. Anyway...
-:Bahamut hails from the world of dragon kings, a fearsome place inhabited only by those with near-divine power. Most of these dragon kings have rather short tempers, so you can imagine what happens when you put them together in the same room. It's a constant free-for-all where the weak are meat and only the strong survive.
-:Sixteen of them proved themselves to possess power far greater than the rest. Among these sixteen were Tiababylo, one of Grymoire's Pleiad, and Brandelis, the future Exnine Knight.
-:Tiababylo was enraged to learn Brandelis had begun calling himself "king of Bahamut" even though the struggle for dominance in their homeworld was nowhere near finished. Tiababylo did not know that in another world, his rival had bound himself to man and cyborg and become an Exnine Knight. Their petty struggle was no longer Brandelis's concern.
-;Brandelis's Name
-:"Brandelis" comes from the Exnine Knight's esper name; his human name was "Efrawg." Pellinore and Segwarides also took their esper names, and not their human names "Pwyll" and "Epona." Thus, it would seem that all three associate more with their eidolon sides than their human sides.
-:Perhaps this is why Pellinore, before attacking Eiko, asked Fenrir if they were truly enemies. Shouldn't he side with a powerful esper like her instead of a human? This goes to show Pellinore has abandoned her humanity altogether.
