Bennu (ベンヌ, Bennu?) is a recurring enemy in the Final Fantasy series. It is typically presented as variant of the Zu, and in some cases has an association with the Phoenix.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy XI[]
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Bennu is an enemy that appears in The Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3 as part of the Phoenix encounter. Bennus continuously spawn throughout the encounter, and any fallen Bennus will be revived by the Phoenix's Flames of Rebirth, buffing other nearby Bennus in the process. The party needs to take care to keep the Bennus' bodies away from each other to avoid these buffs. Once defeated twice, a Bennu cannot be revived again.
Bennu is also available as a mount for purchase on the Mog Station.
Final Fantasy XV[]
Bennu is a boss fought during the A Legend Is Born sidequest; in Chapter 15, the party can find Randolph in Lestallum who sends them out to slay fearsome foes for material for crafting equipment. Bennu yields a Jet-black Beak that, when given to Randolph, earns the Iron Duke greatsword.
Final Fantasy Dimensions[]
Bennus are red birds found in the Anima Grove. When the party arrives they find that the birds are being wiped out by the Conqueror. Upon the Conqueror's defeat, Sarah attempts to heal one of the birds in vain. In recognition of their efforts to save them, the spirit of the Bennu bestows the Phoenix Eidolon to the party.

Etymology[]
Bennu is an ancient Egyptian deity, represented as a bird, that is linked with the sun, creation, and rebirth. It is often thought the inspiration of the Greek legends of the phoenix.
