Battle[]
Belgemine's Bahamut fights similarly to Isaaru's Spathi, counting down to Mega Flare for five turns, but will counter with physical attacks and counter every fifth attack with Impulse, which inflicts Delay (weak). Defeating Belgemine's Bahamut the first time awards the Flower Sceptre, and 8 Mana Spheres from then on.
Bahamut is fought before the final boss, while he searches for an aeon to possess. His stats are identical to the stats Bahamut had while used by the player, but he only uses his normal attack, Impulse, and Mega Flare. Bahamut's Overdrive gauge increases by 15~30% when targeted by Power Wave from a Yu Pagoda, and 0~10% when targeted by an attack or using an ability.

Etymology[]
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.
