Concept artwork for Final Fantasy.

The Sahagin (サハギン, Sahagin?), also known as Sahag, WaterHag, Water Hag, or Fins, is a recurring enemy from the Final Fantasy 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.

They are dangerous due to their high physical defense, as well their Jump ability, which can deal high damage and knock down characters if they're not blocking.
