The Octomammoth was once an ordinary octopus that was mutated by unspecified "underwater experiments." Tellah comments that it is "an octomammoth," indicating it is not the only mutation of its type. Though no others appear in the game or its sequel, ''[[Final Fantasy IV: The After Years]]'', two similar monsters appear, [[Octo-Kraken]] and [[Cooler Mammoth]]. [[Palom]] mentions that the Cooler Mammoth once gave Tellah trouble, indicating it may be the same creature.

The Octomammoth can be rough if the player has not been battling along the way. Cecil should have collected the [[List of Final Fantasy IV Weapons#Shadowblade|Shadowblade]] and some Hades-type armor and use [[Souleater|Darkness]], then use physical attacks with Darkness status. Tellah and Rydia should use Thunder, and occasionally, if they have enough [[MP (Stat)|MP]], [[Summon (Command)|summon]] [[Chocobo]] with Rydia. The party should heal with [[Cure (Ability)|Cure]] or, hopefully, [[Cura]] when Cecil and the others get weak. After losing a percentage of [[HP (Stat)|HP]], the beast's tentacles will vanish, and when it has about four left, Tellah will warn that a wounded beast is dangerous. Afterward the Octomammoth will slow down, but deliver massive hits that could possibly defeat Tellah or Rydia in one hit, and leave Cecil weak.

The player only needs to cast each spell once, though, and can continue to hack at the beast until it falls. Since it initially has all eight arms, the Octomammoth strikes fast at first, but not hard; it will slow as its limbs drop away, but hit harder.

In Elite mode, the Dark spell and high-level Thunder magic should make short work of it, with White Mages assisting as above. Tellah waited behind a Bonus Quest for the player, prior to The Burning Blade.

Etymology

The numeral prefix "octo-", from Latin for the number eight.

A mammoth is any species of the extinct genus Mammuthus, one of the many genera that make up the order of trunked mammals called proboscideans. The various species of mammoth were commonly equipped with long, curved tusks and, in northern species, a covering of long hair. They lived from the Pliocene epoch (from around 5 million years ago) into the Holocene at about 4,000 years ago, and various species existed in Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. They were members of the family Elephantidae, which also contains the two genera of modern elephants and their ancestors. Today, the word "mammoth" is often used to describe abnormally large animals or objects.
