The Greater Behemoth is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII-2. It is called Grand Behemoth after being tamed. In battle, it becomes immune to Pain, Fog, and Daze after standing.
Stats[]
Paradigm Pack[]
Like most of its brethren, the Grand Behemoth has high Strength. With a purely Power material growth, it can approach 1,200 Strength. However, its physical attack speed is lackluster while it has an impressive casting speed, though its Magic stat does not rise to levels akin of its Strength. This makes the behemoth a Strength-based Strike Ravager, only more advantageous than Magic-based Ravagers against the surprisingly small list of enemies that are strong against Magic but weak to elemental damage, like Malebranche and Wladislaus.
Like Zaghnal, the Grand Behemoth has two types of elemental Blitzes, which puts it one up on Tabasco Toad and Blue Chocobo with one, and Koboldroid Yang with none. The Grand Behemoth's maximum Strength is the highest of the five.
Grand Behemoth is one of two creatures with Auto-Tetradefense, which casts Protect, Shell, Veil, and Vigilance at the start of combat. It is red-locked for Grand Behemoth, but Tezcatlipoca has it available for infusion.

Etymology[]
Behemoth is a beast mentioned in Job 40:15–24. In addition to mythological creatures, it is likened to dinosaurs, especially sauropods, as well as elephants, hippos, rhinos, and bison. Metaphorically, the term behemoth denotes "an extremely large or powerful entity".
