Behemoth

Artwork of the Behemoth in Final Fantasy II by Yoshitaka Amano.

Ferocious beasts with regal, fluttering manes and roars violent enough to shake the earth itself. After rending foes with long claws and horns, they usually use their sharp teeth to deal the killing blow. Also known to use high-level magic, Behemoths are enemies of the top rank.

Dissidia Final Fantasy description

The Behemoth (ベヒーモス, Behīmosu?) is a recurring type of enemy in the Final Fantasy series. It debuted as a boss in Final Fantasy II, though there is artwork of it for the original Final Fantasy.

Behemoths are large, purple, canine-esque creatures with two bull-like horns and flowing manes. Depending on the game, Behemoths may be quadrupedal or bipedal—when bipedal, they often wield weapons. They appear in the game's later areas, and are sometimes treated as bosses. Due to their great power, Behemoths usually attack alone, but occasionally attack in small groups of two or three. Behemoths use strong physical attacks and often counter attacks with an attack of their own. If the player casts magic on them, the Behemoth will retaliate with a powerful spell such as Flare, Maelstrom, or Meteor. They are known to use a similar spell as a final attack. Due to their great strength and high HP, Behemoths are among the strongest enemies encountered in most games.

A common variant is the King Behemoth, also known as the Behemoth King. King Behemoths are usually yellow and are stronger versions of the normal Behemoth. Other variants include the Humbaba, usually gray, that is even stronger than the King Behemoth, and the Dark Behemoth, usually dark blue, is typically the strongest Behemoth. The Catoblepas makes a number of appearances as a member of the Behemoth family, but also commonly appears as a Basilisk-type enemy.

Appearances

Final Fantasy

Artwork of Warrior of Light battling a Behemoth.

Concept art depicting a winged Behemoth facing a Warrior of Light was created for the original Final Fantasy (the piece having been used extensively in promotional material), but the creature itself is not in the game. A winged Behemoth based on this artwork is featured in Final Fantasy XV.

Final Fantasy II

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy II)

The Behemoth is initially fought as a boss, unleashed by the Emperor of Palamecia to battle Firion and his allies. Behemoths appear as normal enemies in the forests around Mysidia. They focus on powerful physical attacks and boast high HP and Defense, but use no magic. The King Behemoth appears in the Jade Passage as a boss, guarding a Rune Axe.

Other Behemoth types:

• King Behemoth
• Dark Behemoth
• Ultima Weapon

Final Fantasy III

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy III)

Behemoths appear in the Temple of Time. They are the temple's strongest creatures with high HP and great physical strength. King Behemoths appear in the Ancients' Maze.

Final Fantasy IV

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy IV)

Three Behemoths appear as mini-bosses in the Lair of the Father on the Moon, as monsters-in-a-box in the Lunar Subterrane, and they can be fought as random encounters in the Lunar Core. Behemoths counter magic with Maelstrom, reducing the HP of all party members to single digits. King Behemoths appear in the Advance and Complete Collection versions in the Lunar Ruins.

In the 3D release, the Behemoth has more HP and its attacks can kill high-level party members in a couple of hits, even with Protect. It is now immune to a whole host of status effects, though it is still vulnerable to Slow.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

Main article: Behemoth (The After Years)

The Behemoth is a powerful enemy fought in the Subterrane. They counter physical attacks with a powerful attack, and spells with Maelstrom. King Behemoth is a boss fought in the Depths, along with other bosses from Final Fantasy II, and thus its sprite is derived from its appearance in that game rather than the Behemoths of Final Fantasy IV.

Final Fantasy V

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy V)

The Behemoth is exclusive to the Advance and 2013 releases, found in the Sealed Temple. They only attack when the player attacks them, and when low on HP have a chance to cast Meteor. The King Behemoth appears in the final area of the Interdimensional Rift in all releases.

The Kuza Beast is a palette swap of the Behemoths and is a rare encounter found outside of the Sealed Castle in the Second World and in the Phoenix Tower.

Final Fantasy VI

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy VI)

Behemoths appear on the Floating Continent, where they use powerful physical attacks and have a chance to counter a summon with Meteor. They can sometimes appear in pairs or with other enemies, but are susceptible to Break.

The stronger Great Behemoth appears in the final dungeon, and has a greater chance of using Meteor. The Behemoth King is fought twice in a row as a boss in the Cave on the Veldt. The second version of the Behemoth King can appear on the Veldt, and is unique among behemoths as it is an undead monster, and can be instantly killed with a Phoenix Down. The Intangir, a behemoth-type enemy, appears on Triangle Island in the World of Balance, rewarding 10 Magic Points, more than any other monster in the World of Balance, to anyone able to beat them. Dark Behemoth appears in the Advance and mobile/Steam versions as an optional boss.

Final Fantasy VI marks the first time the Behemoth appears as a bipedal enemy.

Final Fantasy VII

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy VII)

Behemoths appear during the raid when the party returns to Midgar in "Mako Cannon Rampage".

King Behemoths appear in the final dungeon, and use stronger physical attacks as well as Flare and Comet2.

Vincent's Level 1 Limit, the Galian Beast, has the appearance of a smaller, bipedal Behemoth. Like real Behemoths, the Galian Beast's special attack is a version of Flare, called Beast Flare.

There is also a weapon for Red XIII called the Behemoth Horn found in the Shinra Bldg. stairwell during the return to Midgar on disc 2. Although the weapon has no graphic, like all of Red XIII's weapons, its artwork looks like the long, curving horn of the Behemoth.

It can also be fought in the Shinra Combat Simulator in Chapters 16 and 17 after beating the game once.

Final Fantasy X

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy X)

Behemoths appear as fiends at Mt. Gagazet and in the ruins of Zanarkand. They strike with both Thundara and physical attacks. A stronger version, Behemoth King, appears in the final dungeon and casts Meteor upon its death, a spell exclusive to it. The Catoblepas can be fought in the Monster Arena, battling identically to the normal Behemoths, but with higher stats. It casts Ultima upon being defeated.

Final Fantasy X-2

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy X-2)

Regular Behemoths are a random encounter in the Zanarkand Ruins in Chapter 1 and are formidable foes, until Chapter Five when they are generally eclipsed by most other random encounters. The Behemoth King creature type is replaced by Humbaba, which looks exactly like a Behemoth King. It appears as a boss in the Thunder Plains during Chapter 5. Both versions also appear in Via Infinito. Behemoth types take 20 kills to Oversoul.

Final Fantasy XI

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy XI)

Behemoths are a monster family of the Beast type. Behemoths appear almost exclusively as Notorious Monsters, and are difficult to defeat alone. Most, if not all, can cast Meteor.

Two Behemoths are seen in the introductory FMV sequence, which depicts the beastman attack on Tavnazia. They were used by the orcs as living siege weaponry, using their great size and strength to break through the city walls. A similar Behemoth is used by the Dark Kindred as a warbeast during Campaign Battles.

The Behemoth also appears as a large constellation in the northern sky. This great curve of stars is meant to represent the gargantuan Behemoth's horns. Legends founded by the Federation of Windurst say it appears as if it is about to be vanquished by Odin.

A concept artwork shows a winged Behemoth, despite the in-game Behemoths being wingless. This is the only other instance of a winged Behemoth in the series besides the unused concept art for the original Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy XII

Main article: Behemoth (Final Fantasy XII)

Behemoths appear as both an individually named enemy and an entire genus of similar enemies. For the first time in the series, Behemoths are bipedal, wield weapons and wear primitive armor and clothing. The Behemoth King mark walks on all fours and is more bestial and wyrm-like than the other Behemoth-type enemies, looking more like the Behemoths in other entries of the series. Behemoth-type enemies rely mostly on powerful physical attacks, and some can use Bacchus's Wine to increase their damage output.

Behemoth type enemies:

• Werewolf
• High Reaver
• Humbaba
• Reaver
• Yeti
• Zaghnal
• Alteci (Rare)
• Catoblepas (Mark)
• Behemoth King (Elite Mark)

Final Fantasy XIII

The Behemoths of Gran Pulse wear pants and sleeves on their forearms. On Cocoon, Behemoths are used by PSICOM and come in two forms: cyborgs trained for combat use, and feral ones which resemble the Pulse varieties more closely. Pulsian Behemoths are noticeably tougher.

Upon losing half of their health, many Behemoths will stand on their hind legs and pull the crest from along their head and upper spine, creating a sword or chainsaw-like weapon. This can either completely heal their HP while removing all negative status effects, or grant them an array of boosts. It will also increase the Behemoth's damage output while sometimes increasing or lowering its defenses.

Behemoth type enemies:

• Beta Behemoth
• Alpha Behemoth
• Feral Behemoth
• Lodestar Behemoth
• Greater Behemoth
• Behemoth King

Behemoth appears in the Snowfields outside of Rivelgauge Monastery. There is also a boss Behemoth, the King Behemoth, in this area.

Regular Behemoths are relatively strong quadruped monsters with low defense. Their attacks consist solely of swipes and charges. The Behemoth King, however, is a large, bipedal creature with an enormous club. The King Behemoth can also use a fire breath attack and use the Meteor spell to launch four meteorites at anything within range. It is rare as a boss in that it will attack anything in the area, including other monsters, especially if left alone. The player can break its horn and use it as a projectile against it.

A giant black Behemoth, thought to be a Dark Behemoth, appears as part of a chase sequence, during which the player must escape from both it and the Lilty army.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

The Behemoth is the first boss fought at Hill of Destiny. As the first boss, it only uses physical attacks. It takes four attacks from it to deplete all of Benjamin's HP. As it is encountered before any equipment or items can be bought, defeating it is merely a matter of attacking it over and over and hoping that the player's attacks do not miss as there is a chance of it defeating Benjamin if the player is unlucky striking it down. The Gorgon is a similar monster encountered elsewhere in the Foresta region.

Behemoth.

Behemoths appear as enemies as part of a collaboration event with Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy Agito.

Mario Sports Mix

A Behemoth appears as the final boss. It appears when a dark crystal takes the player's team to another world after they obtain four crystals from each of the playable sports. The objective is to completely deplete its HP meter to 0 through the use of small meteorites to attack or utilizing Mario series items such as Koopa Shells and Bob-ombs to interrupt its attack patterns.

After defeating the Behemoth, the Sports Mix mode is unlocked, which makes the player play through tournaments like before, but the sports played in each round are selected at random and the difficulty is set at Expert. When the Star Cup of this mode is beaten, the player is taken to another boss battle, this time against a Behemoth King who is much more difficult.

Both versions of the Behemoth utilize the same attacks, such as hurling fireballs that home in on the characters, summoning lightning bolts to crash down on everyone at once, and invoking a brutal meteor shower. They can also ram into characters with their horns or stomp down on them after leaping high into the air.

Xenoblade Chronicles

The Behemoth is a class of large, purple monsters that appear towards the end of the game, and look very similar to the Final Fantasy Behemoth. There are three types of Behemoths, the regular Sanjibal Behemoth, a unique monster called Demon Pavlovsk, and an extremely large and powerful super-boss called Blizzard Belgazas. The former two appear in Prison Island, while the latter is fought on Valak Mountain.

All three Behemoth type monsters are powerful enemies that can wipe out a lower-leveled party easily. Blizzard Belgazas especially, at level 114, should be avoided at all costs, as it is the second most powerful enemy.

Square Enix Legend World

The version of King Behemoth from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers appears as an enemy.

Knights of the Crystals

The Behemoth appears on an ultimate card.

Monster Hunter: World

Behemoth appears as part of a collaboration with Final Fantasy XIV as a new Elder Dragon. It can use many of the same attacks as it does in Final Fantasy XIV, like Ecliptic Meteor. In the story it emerges from a wormhole and crashes into the New World due to the instability of the aether. The fight against the Behemoth is designed in such a way that it feels similar to a raid boss, contrary to the other monsters in the game. It has an aggro mechanic that allows players to effectively assume the role of a tank during the fight and its HP pool is always scaled for multiplayer, encouraging team play. The materials acquired from the Behemoth let players craft the powerful Dragoon armor and an Insect Glaive weapon.

A baby Behemoth costume is also available for the player's pet Poogie.

Dungeon Encounters

A Behemoth appears as an enemy on hexadecimal encounters A1, A4, and A5 at Level 66 and on D4 and D6 at Level 85. At Level 66, it can drop the Save the Queen or Mystery Compound A, while at Level 85 it can drop the Mystery Compound A or Ancient Charm and may add the Maximillan Helm to the The Skeleton's Defense shop.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Behemoth is a beast mentioned in Job 40:15–24. In addition to mythological creatures, it is likened to dinosaurs, especially sauropods, as well as elephants, hippos, rhinos, and bison. Metaphorically, the term behemoth denotes "an extremely large or powerful entity".

In the Spanish versions, the Final Fantasy variant of Behemoth is known as "Bégimo", the phonetic adaptation of its name.
