Some Cactuars live long lives and grow huge. This Jumbo Cactuar is one of those.

Final Fantasy VIII Scan data

Gigantuar (ジャボテンダー, Jabotendā?, lit. Juctuar), also known as Jumbo Cactuar, is a recurring boss in the Final Fantasy series ever since its debut in Final Fantasy VIII. It is an enlarged Cactuar, usually towering over the party, and as a trademark often sports a curled mustache. As the Cactuar's trademark attack is 1000 Needles, the Gigantuar uses "10000 Needles", and in games where the HP limit exceeds 9,999, it may even have "99999 Needles".
