Dheed is a trophy Rare Game enemy found in Mosphoran Highwaste in Final Fantasy XII as part of the Hunt Club sidequest. An Archadian Researcher will be near the area, commenting over such a majestic panorama. He can still be talked to in the middle of the battle with Dheed, in which he will scorn the party for ruining the view. The player can steal the Mirage Vest from the Dheed.
It is also fought in the Zodiac versions' Trial Mode at Stage 67 along with a Shield Wyrm where the following items can be stolen from it: Diamond Armlet (common), Cloud Staff (uncommon) and Castellanos (rare).
Though the connection has been lost in translation, Dheed's name is a reference to Vagrant Story, which features a wyvern named D'tok as the first boss.
Bestiary entry[]

Stats[]
How to find[]
The player must have spoken to the "Huntmaster" in Phon Coast and defeated Thalassinon to start the Hunt Club quest. Dheed is then found just before the entrance to the location of the Esper boss Exodus, in Skyreach Ridge in Mosphoran Highwaste (see here how to get there). It has a 40% chance of appearing, so the player must exit and re-enter from Empyrean Seat until it spawns.
Battle[]
Dheed is a flying enemy, so the party must use ranged weapons (poles and spears work in the Zodiac versions), magick or technicks.
Etymology[]
The name possible came from Deydo which is a demon described in the grimoire The Book of Oberon.
