Behemoth uses powerful attacks and spells, such as Meteor, as well as the Blue Magic spell Mighty Guard, which is used one time after falling below 30% HP. At level 40+, Behemoths can counter physical attacks with Meteor, and can cast Meteor or Flare as a final attack.
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.
Behemoth is a Level 5 Monster Card used for playing Triple Triad and for turning into Barrier with Quezacotl'sCard 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 as a Triple Triad card.
