The Sahagin (サハギン, Sahagin?) is a recurring enemy from the series. It appears in most games, and often has stronger counterparts. The Sahagin is usually portrayed as a fish that walks on land, though in Final Fantasy VII (and other games of the compilation) and Final Fantasy IX, they appear as spear-carrying turtle-like creatures who can hide in their shells to nullify physical damage, and in Final Fantasy XV they are crocodiles. While they are usually aquatic, in some games there is a species of Sahagin that lives in the desert.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy[]
Sahagins appear as enemies. Two palette swaps of the Sahagin, the Sahagin Prince and the Sahagin Chief, appear in the original version and a third, the Sahagin Queen, is featured only in the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary versions.
Final Fantasy III[]
Sahagins are fought on the seas of the Floating Continent. They provide the least amount of Experience points of the enemies encountered in the sea. A pink version, the Merman, appears as an enemy in the Subterranean Lake.
In Spanish it's translated as "Quelonoide" instead of "Gurami".
Final Fantasy IV[]
Two other forms exist in this game: the Desert Sahagin and Sahagin Prince.
Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-[]
The Desert Sahagin is the only one that appears in this game.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years[]
Various versions of Sahagins appear in-game, and are all weak to Lightning-elemental attacks, save for the Desert Sahagin which is weak to Ice elemental attacks. They tend to not be very powerful when they are encountered.
Final Fantasy V[]
The Sahagins appear as a normal enemy. It is a rare enemy that can be found at one area only, the waters southwest of the Phoenix Tower. It only relies on physical attacks. The Nix and Merrow are other forms of Sahagin.
Final Fantasy VII[]
The Sahagins appear as an enemy in the Midgar sewers. They mostly just use "Water Gun" and "Harpoon" to inflict minor damage, but if they use "Shell Defense" their Defense increases greatly. It is best to use magic to fight them. A variation, the Desert Sahagin appears in the area around Cosmo Canyon.
Final Fantasy VII Remake[]
Much like in the original game, Sahagins again appear in the Midgar sewers. They are dangerous due to their high physical defense, as well the Jump ability, which can deal high damage and knock down characters if they're not blocking. When fought in high numbers, they can quickly overpower players with a succession of Jumps, effectively stunlocking the party.
Sahagins can also hurl their harpoons at their victims, and are capable of casting a spell called Salientian Curse, both which can cause the Toad status effect. Upon throwing their spears they will fight unnarmed, losing the ability to use Jump, and will instead perform a significantly weaker attack called Flying Kick.

Official website
Sahagin.
Sahagin are a beast tribe from La Noscea, and are constantly fighting against Limsa Lominsa, attacking ships or citizens wandering outside the city-state. Their Primal is Leviathan, sometimes summoned to attack Lominsan ships, and their stronghold is the Sapsa Spawning Grounds in Western La Noscea.
They are known to be allied with Travanchet and pirate groups from Mistbeard Cove. Among the most notorious of their allies are the Serpent Reavers, pirates who have been tempered (or "drowned") by Leviathan himself.
Although the Sahagin have little love for the other races of Eorzea, not all desire conflict. Among those, Clutchfather Novv believes continual warring against Limsa Lominsa in the wake of the Calamity is suicidal. Instead, he feels establishing more peaceful relations is vital so the Sahagin race can recover, even going as far as aiding those harmed by more aggressive Sahagin such as the Coral Tridents.
In the First, the Sahagin are known as the Ondo. Unlike their Source counterparts, they are reclusive and prefer to stay in the Tempest, occasionally interacting and trading with people on the surface for goods such as fruit. Due to the darkness of their home, they remain relatively untouched by the Sin Eaters that plague Norvrandt.
