In the Japanese version Behemoth's HP formula is
Battle [ ] Meteor.
Behemoth uses powerful attacks and spells, such as Meteor , as well as the Blue Magic spell Mighty Guard . Behemoths cast Meteor as a final attack .
Devouring a level 40+ Behemoth will raise the devourer's Magic stat by one.
Strategy [ ] Behemoths can be easily defeated by junctioning 100 units of Death magic to Status Attack , or by casting Blind and Silence on it, which will render it useless. Doomtrain also works well against one.
Triple Triad [ ] Behemoth is a Level 5 Monster Card used for playing Triple Triad and for turning into Barrier with Quezacotl's Card Mod , though it takes a high 10 cards to make one Barrier. If the player is tenacious enough, this is regardless a way to get Quistis's Mighty Guard Limit Break early.

Behemoth from Final Fantasy VIII appears on a Triple Triad card in the version available via Final Fantasy Portal App
