There are at least seven Lucavi, though one of them, [[Elidibus (Tactics)|Elidibus]], is not necessarily connected to the other six. Each Lucavi is connected to a shard of [[Auracite (Tactics)|auracite]], also known as Zodiac Stones, which serves as a conduit for that Lucavi to exist in [[Ivalice (Tactics)|Ivalice]]. Each Lucavi also has a human host, allowing them to interact with others in Ivalice without drawing attention. The Lucavi can switch between human and demon form via their auracite. Lucavi return as [[Esper (Final Fantasy XII)|Espers]] in other Ivalice games, notably ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift]]'', though Elidibus is known as his summon [[Zodiark (summon)|Zodiark]]. ==Profile== ===The original Lucavi (PlayStation)=== The names of the Lucavi are written in [[Language|Ivalice writing]] in the background of the saving screen (picture of the circular [[Zodiac (term)|zodiac]] sigil at the top of the page). The Lucavi associated with [[Taurus (zodiac)|Taurus]], [[Cancer (zodiac)|Cancer]], [[Libra (zodiac)|Libra]], [[Sagittarius (zodiac)|Sagittarius]], [[Aquarius (zodiac)|Aquarius]], and [[Pisces]] can be known by deciphering the language. The demons associated with the stones never make a physical manifestation within the game. {|class="full-width FFT article-table" style="text-align:center" |-class="a" !Zodiac Sign !Lucavi !Ivalice Name |- |[[Aries (zodiac)|Aries]] |[[Belias (Tactics)|BELIAS]] |[[File:FFT-BELIAS.png]] |- |[[Taurus (zodiac)|Taurus]] |DUMA |[[File:FFT-DUMA.png]] |- |[[Gemini (zodiac)|Gemini]] |[[Zalera (Tactics)|ZALHERA]] |[[File:FFT-ZALHERA.png]] |- |[[Cancer (zodiac)|Cancer]] |ZEBBEB |[[File:FFT-ZEBBEB.png]] |- |[[Leo (zodiac)|Leo]] |[[Hashmal (Tactics)|HASHMURIM]] |[[File:FFT-HASHMURIM.png]] |- |[[Virgo]] |[[Ultima (Tactics)|ULTIMA]] |[[File:FFT-ULTIMA.png]] |- |[[Libra (zodiac)|Libra]] |SEL |[[File:FFT-SEL.png]] |- |[[Scorpio]] |[[Cúchulainn (Tactics)|CUCHRAIN]] |[[File:FFT-CUCHRAIN.png]] |- |[[Sagittarius (zodiac)|Sagittarius]] |ROPHOCHEHE |[[File:FFT-ROPHOCHEHE.png]] |- |[[Capricorn]] |[[Adrammelech (Tactics)|ADRAMELECH]] |[[File:FFT-ADRAMELECH.png]] |- |[[Aquarius (zodiac)|Aquarius]] |CHERAUB |[[File:FFT-CHERAUB.png]] |- |[[Pisces]] |LEVIATHAN |[[File:FFT-LEVIATHAN.png]] |} *The name Rofocale (or Rofokare in the PlayStation version) appears between [[Cúchulainn (Tactics)|Cúchulainn]] and [[Adrammelech (Tactics)|Adrammelech]] in the game's data. It appears to be a [[Dummied content#Final Fantasy Tactics|dummied]] Lucavi that would have been associated with the Sagittarius Stone. His name was given to a [[Zombie (status)|undead]] [[Time Mage (Tactics)|Time Mage]] who fights at [[Yuguewood]]. ===Origin=== ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift]]'' provides an description of the origin of the Lucavi. The following text is given to [[Luso Clemens]] by [[Lezaford]]: :''There are worlds within our world of Ivalice that we cannot touch or know as we know our own bed, home, or town.'' :''The Netherworld, the Empyreal Plain, the World of Illusion... these are together known as otherworlds, unseen by eye; untouched by hand.'' :''The order of creatures known as scions hails from these otherworlds. They are found in many places, in many lands, and they count among their number emissaries of the gods, protector spirits, and even greater doers of evil.'' :''Though the otherworlds are not normally accessible from Ivalice, if certain requirements are met, it is possible to give otherworldly power a physical manifestation in our world. This is most commonly seen in the pact made by the summoners who calls down an Esper to fight for them.'' :''From the legend of a great mage in the far eastern realms who sundered a magickal seal, thus receiving a scion as a servant, it would seem that they, too, operate by these same principles.'' :''In Jylland, it has been discovered that that summoning of scions is possible with the use of a particular magickal device. However, it is certain that the power manifested through this means is only an echo of the scion's true power. To evoke the true power of a scion, it would be necessary to harmonize oneself to the scion's being, fusing not only one's purpose with the scion, but one's own body and mind.'' ==Story== {{spoiler}} The goal of the Lucavi is the resurrection of their master, Ultima. Once that is done, they will have no need of auracite or the vessels they inhabit, as they'll be able to come and go as they please. In Ultima's absence, Hashmal leads the effort to revive her. [[Ramza Beoulve|Ramza]] runs afoul of the Lucavi by discovering what they are up to, and is forced to fight and defeat the Lucavi one by one. By the time he catches up to Hashmal he is dangerously close to reviving Ultima due to the countless bloodshed needed for the resurrection to work. Hashmal succeeds by committing suicide to fulfill the ritual. Ramza battles Ultima who transforms into a skeletal monstrosity mid-battle. Ultima is destroyed, though the resulting explosion devastates the area, and it appears Ramza has perished as well, although [[Orran Durai]] briefly spots him afterward. ==The Lucavi== [[File:FFT-Queklain.gif|left]]'''[[Cúchulainn (Tactics)|Cúchulainn the Impure (Queklain, the Impure King)]]''' is associated with the [[Scorpio]] auracite, and has possessed [[Alphonse Delacroix|Cardinal Delacroix]]. {{-}} [[File:FFT-Velius.gif|left]]'''[[Belias (Tactics)|Belias The Gigas (Velius, The Warlock)]]''' is associated with the [[Aries (zodiac)|Aries]] auracite, and has possessed [[Wiegraf Folles]]. {{-}} [[File:FFT-Zalera.gif|left]]'''[[Zalera (Tactics)|Zalera the Death Seraph (Zalera, the Angel of Death)]]''' is associated with the [[Gemini (zodiac)|Gemini]] auracite, and has possessed [[Messam Elmdore|Marquis Elmdore]]. {{-}} [[File:FFT-Adramelk.gif|left]]'''[[Adrammelech (Tactics)|Adrammelech the Wroth (Adremelk, the Ghost of Fury)]]''' is associated with the [[Capricorn]] auracite, and possesses [[Dycedarg Beoulve]]. {{-}} [[File:FFT-Hashmalum.gif|left]]'''[[Hashmal (Tactics)|Hashmal Bringer of Order (Hashmalum, the Regulator)]]''' is associated with the [[Leo (zodiac)|Leo]] Auracite, and has possessed [[Folmarv Tengille]]. {{-}} [[File:FFT-Altima.gif|left]]'''[[Ultima (Tactics)|Ultima the High Seraph (Altima, the Bloody Angel)]]''' is associated with the [[Virgo]] auracite. She originally possessed [[Ajora Glabados|Saint Ajora]], but upon his death was stuck within him, and as such the other Lucavi try to revive her host and transfer her to a new one, [[Alma Beoulve]]. {{-}} [[File:FFT-Elidibs.gif|left]]'''[[Elidibus (Tactics)|Elidibus the Legendary Wizard]]''' also takes the form of a Lucavi, but retains his own name. He does, however, summon Zodiark, the Esper who represents the sign Elidibus wields [[Ophiuchus|Serpentarius]]. He is an optional boss that can be battled between Adramelech and Hashmal, before the player go to [[Orbonne Monastery]] in the Chapter 4. {{-}} ==Underlings== The Lucavi employ many underlings, the most notable of which are the [[Archaeodaemon (Tactics)|Archaeodaemon]]s and [[Ultima Demon]]s. Both are of considerable power, and the Ultima Demons can even cast the spell [[Ultima (ability)#Final Fantasy Tactics|Ultima]]. During the battles against Ramza, [[Belias (Tactics)|Belias]] summons Archaeodaemons to help him, while Ultima summons Ultima Demons to help her. In addition, [[Celia]] and [[Lettie]], who serve [[Messam Elmdore|Marquis Elmdore]], are Ultima Demons, and if defeated in human form during the battle with Elmdore, will transform into demons and continue fighting. It is likely that [[Loffrey Wodring|Loffrey]] is also an Ultima Demon since Ramza feels the same feeling in Loffrey's presence as with Celia and Lettie. Both Archaeodaemons and Ultima Demons are summoned by [[Folmarv Tengille|Folmarv]] to help the [[undead]] [[Zalbaag Beoulve|Zalbaag]]. {{endspoiler}} ==Musical themes== {{audio|filename=ThePervert.ogg|title=Helldance|image=[[File:FFT-Queklain.gif]]}} "Helldance" ("The Pervert" in the original version) is the Lucavi [[boss theme|boss battle theme]]. It begins to play as any Lucavi-possessed character transforms into a Lucavi form, and stops playing right before the defeated Lucavi explodes. The theme is predictably in minor key. It begins slowly and becomes faster partway through only to become slow again just before it repeats. During the slow part, there are four beats to a measure and during the fast part there are only three. It also switches keys twice during the fast part before reverting to its original key. The combination of these irregularities works well as the heroes are in the presence of something unholy whenever it is being played. Cúchulainn, Belias, Zalera, Adrammelech, Elidibus, and Hashmal use this theme. Ultima has [[final boss theme#Final Fantasy Tactics|two themes of her own]] which are used instead for the battles against her. In addition to "Helldance", the Lucavi also have a laughter sound effect. The laugh is a remix of [[Kefka Palazzo]]'s laugh in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''. ==Other appearances== ===''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''=== [[File:Belias-FFXII.png|right|200px|Belias the Gigas.]] {{Main|Esper (Final Fantasy XII)}} Some Espers are based on the Lucavi. Most do not have a storyline role, but they appear to be in service of the [[Occuria]]. The ones based on the Lucavi are: *[[Belias (Final Fantasy XII)|Belias, the Gigas]]: Guardian of the inner sanctum of the [[Tomb of Raithwall]]. It is said that [[Raithwall]] placed him to guard the [[Dawn Shard]], a fragment of deifacted [[nethicite]]. When the party approaches [[Giruvegan]], Belias must be summoned to break the seal on the entrance. *[[Adrammelech (Final Fantasy XII)|Adrammelech, the Wroth]]: Part of an optional quest in the [[Zertinan Caverns]], located at the center of a radar-warping [[Mist (Final Fantasy XII)|Mist]] pocket and a cyclone. He summons [[Shambling Corpse (Final Fantasy XII)|Shambling Corpses]] to slow the party's assault. *[[Zalera (Final Fantasy XII)|Zalera, the Death Seraph]]: Encountered deep in the ruins of the [[Barheim Passage]]. *[[Cúchulainn (Final Fantasy XII)|Cúchulainn, the Impure]]: Part of an optional quest whose last leg requires solving the [[Garamsythe Waterway]]. *[[Hashmal (Final Fantasy XII)|Hashmal, Bringer of Order]]: He guards the way to the top of [[Pharos (Final Fantasy XII)|Pharos]]. *[[Ultima (Final Fantasy XII)|Ultima, the High Seraph]]: She is an optional Esper who makes her abode at the bottom of the [[Great Crystal (Final Fantasy XII)|Great Crystal]]. Like her counterpart in ''Final Fantasy Tactics'', she is the one who rallied the other eleven Espers to rise against their creators, and thus is implied to be the Espers' leader. *[[Zodiark (Final Fantasy XII)|Zodiark, Keeper of Precepts]]: The Esper that represents the hidden thirteenth zodiac, Serpentarius, is the last and the most powerful optional Esper. It alludes to the mysterious Zodiark summon from ''Final Fantasy Tactics''. Although not a Lucavi, Zodiark in ''Final Fantasy Tactics'' is related to one: [[Elidibus (Tactics)|Elidibus]]. ===''[[Final Fantasy XIV]]''=== [[File:FFXIV Argath Thadalfus 2.png|200px|right|thumb|Argath Thadalfus as the Lucavi, Duma.]] Hashmal and Rofocale appear as bosses inside the [[Royal City of Rabanastre (Final Fantasy XIV)|Royal City of Rabanastre]]. In addition, the character [[Argath Thadalfus]] uses auracite to transform into the [[Taurus (zodiac)|Taurus]] Lucavi, Duma. Belias appears as the second boss within the [[Ridorana Lighthouse]] raid based on his ''Final Fantasy XII'' appearance. The final boss of the dungeon, [[Yiazmat]], is a Lucavi form taken by [[Ba'Gamnan (Final Fantasy XIV)|Ba'Gamnan]] after being driven mad by the Taurus auracite. Yiazmat is based on the superboss of the same name from ''Final Fantasy XII''. While not appearing in the ''Return to Ivalice'' raids, a boss by the name of Cúchulainn appears inside the [[Void Ark]] raid. {{Enemy-stub|Final Fantasy XIV}} {{-}} ===''[[Pictlogica Final Fantasy]]''=== The Lucavi appear as enemies. <gallery> PFF Belias.png|Belias.
