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 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.
