Lilith (リリス, Ririsu?) is a recurring enemy in the series. It is often a more powerful or weaker version of the Lamia, depending on the game.

Appearances Edit

Final Fantasy IV Edit

Lilith is an enemy fought at Mount Ordeals. It often attacks alone, using a regular attack that can inflict Sleep, in addition to the Slap ability to inflict Paralysis, Silence, or Curse at a 33% chance. Lilith is considered an Undead, thus making her weak to Fire-elemental attacks. In addition, Liliths take x4 damage from the Ice Rod, Crystal weapons, and Paladin weapons. In the 3D versions, Liliths can drop the Lilith Rod and Silver Apple as rare items.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude- Edit

Lilith is an enemy fought at Cave of Eblan and Tower of Babil. While it fights identically to its previous non-3D incarnation, Liliths now drop items that its 3D incarnation drops.

Lilith is an enemy fought in various dungeons and Challenge Dungeons. It is otherwise the same as its previous incarnation.

Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Edit

Lilith is a powerful voidsent and antagonist, featured in the Red Mage job quests.

Since then, she plotted to fashion a better vessel by manipulating his descendants.

Etymology Edit

[view · edit · purge]Lilith is believed to have originated as a female Mesopotamian storm demon associated with wind. She was thought to be a bearer of disease, illness and death. The figure first appeared in a class of wind and storm demons or spirits as Lilitu in Sumer, circa 4000 BC. The phonetic name Lilith is thought to have originated in Ancient Israel and to have pre-dated at least 700 BC.

In Jewish folklore, Lilith is the name of Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same earth as him. She left Adam after refusing to become subservient to him and would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael. Her story was greatly developed during the Middle Ages—in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism.

The semitic root L-Y-L layil in Hebrew, as layl in Arabic, means "night". Talmudic and Yiddish use of Lilith follows Hebrew. In Akkadian the terms lili and līlītu mean spirits.
