Changes: Cúchulainn

Revision as of 20:35, 24 March 2019

Template:Sideicon

Cuch — Cúchulainn, the Impure in *Final Fantasy XII*.

Scion created to rid the world of its impurities by swallowing them within himself, in opposition to Nabriales the Majestic, scion of light. The world, however, was more filled with impurity and corruption than even the gods dared imagine, and having swallowed it all, the once beautiful Cúchulainn was transformed into a hideous thing, a deity of filth, and so did he turn against his creators. Wherever his feet should fall, there all life withers to dust.

Main article: Cúchulainn (Final Fantasy XII)

Cúchulainn is associated with the element of Poison, and is also referred to as the Vrishchika Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology. To strengthen his relation to the Scorpio sign, he is given an enormous tail hidden inside his body.

Cúchulainn is an optional Esper found in the Garamsythe Waterway under Rabanastre, perhaps attracted by the surrounding sewage (or the cause of it).

Cúchulainn's license costs 50 LP, and he requires two Mist Charges to summon. Cúchulainn cannot receive Bubble status.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Main article: Cúchulainn (Revenant Wings)

In-game description

Cúchulainn reappears, along with the other Espers. He is the Rank 2 Melee Water summon, unlike the other Final Fantasy XII Espers who are Rank 3. As a result, and in contrast with the other Espers, Cúchulainn has a small sprite and more than one can exist in the party at once. There is no condition to unlocking him, save for reaching his node on the Ring of Pacts.

He keeps his signature moves Malaise and Blight, which Poison enemies.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Main article: Cúchulainn (Tactics)

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Cúchulainn possessed the corrupted Cardinal Delacroix of Lionel, who further uses the Baert Trading Company to seize the Taurus stone from Besrudio Bunansa. Ramza Beoulve and Mustadio Bunansa halt the company from obtaining the auracite.

Delacroix uses Princess Ovelia as a hostage to obtain the Taurus stone from Ramza and Mustadio, but they infiltrate the castle and confront Delacroix directly. He uses the stone to transform into Cúchulainn. Despite his efforts, Cúchulainn is defeated by Ramza and his forces and sealed within the stone once more.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Cúchulainn is an Irish mythological hero who appears in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, as well as in Scottish and Manx folklore. "Cú" is the Irish word for hound—"Cúchulainn" is literally "Hound of Chulainn". "Cúchulainn" is technically mispronounced in the series, being closer to "coo-hullen" as audible in the following reading from Irish myths by Ronnie Drew via youtube.

The son of the god Lugh and Deichtine, sister of the king of Ulster, he was originally named Sétanta, but gained his better-known name as a child after he killed Chulainn's fierce guard-dog in self-defense, and offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared. At the age of seventeen he defended Ulster single-handedly against the armies of queen Medb of Connacht in the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge.

It was prophesied that his great deeds would give him everlasting fame, but that his life would be short—one reason he is compared to the Greek hero Achilles. He is known for his terrifying battle frenzy or "warp spasm", in which he becomes an unrecognizable monster who knows neither friend nor foe. He fights from his chariot, driven by his loyal charioteer Láeg, and drawn by his horses, Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend.

It is also referred to as the Vrishchika Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.

Trivia

"Cuchulain" is a name made available for monsters in Final Fantasy XIII-2.
Cúchulainn is the only Esper from Final Fantasy XII in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings to appear as a Rank II Yarhi, unlike the rest, which are Rank III.
