Behemoth King in Final Fantasy XII.

King Behemoth (キングベヒーモス, Kingu Behīmosu?), also known as Behemoth King, Behemoth, KBehemoth, Sr Behemoth, and KingBehe is a recurring enemy in the Final Fantasy series. It is a stronger version of the Behemoth with superior stats and sometimes stronger abilities as well. They are commonly encountered in the final dungeons and sometimes as bosses. A common trait with the Behemoth King, unlike its lesser brethren, is that it tends to use Meteor as a final attack in an attempt to defeat the party.

Appearances[]

King Behemoth is fought in the Ancients' Maze, being the rarest and most powerful enemy fought there, only encountered in later rooms. In the 2D versions, King Behemoths rely on regular attacks, but in the 3D remake they can use Meteor at low HP. They are a source of valuable Elixirs and Protect Rings. The King Behemoth in Mario Sports Mix bears somewhat of a resemblance to this version of the enemy.

The Behemoth King can cast Meteor at any time, and will also use other powerful abilities, such as Holy, Blizzara, and Blizzaga. In its undead version, it loses the ability to use Blizzara, Blizzaga, and Holy, but gains access to the Death spell and Sleeping Gas ability, and will always back attack the party.

Final Fantasy XI[]

King Behemoth can be fought in Behemoth's Dominion by trading a Savory Shank to a trigger. In an older version, it would potentially spawn in Behemoth's place after three kills of the latter. It can cast Meteor at will, usually in 30-60 second increments. Since its effectively immune to Stun, the only surefire way of circumventing it is to run out of range. Its most sought-after drop is Defending Ring, an incredibly rare and powerful item which gives a flat 10% reduction to all damage.
