- Scion that is both horse and woman, wielding utter control over the souls that wander the underworld, in opposition to the Martyr Igeyorlm, scion of light. Though she once served the gods as a guardian, when Ultima announced her rebellion, Shemhazai went to her, whispering of the gods' hidden weaknesses. She then descended upon the land without leave of the gods, and taught men of destruction and evil. For this was she stricken down and bound.

Battle
Shemhazai has a random elemental weakness. At the beginning she likes to cast Silencega or use Syphon to drain MP away. Shemhazai's attacks consist of magick and standard attacks, but her standard attacks have a high chance of inflicting Disease and Silence and dealing critical hits (Espers can't do combos, but can do critical hits instead; Shemhazai's critical rate is especially high, however). She also likes to use Shock and Flare.
Shemhazai uses Syphon, which drains about 20–30% of a character's MP. When her health depletes about 40%, Shemhazai will ready Chain-Magick, which cancels her magick charge time. During this time, she likes to blast high-level Black Magick spells.
Strategy
Having Shell helps. It is advised to use non-elemental weapons. By luck, one can squeeze in a Dispel before being inflicted by Silence. Shell can be used to reduce the rate of being inflicted with statuses.
If the player has a low enough level character, the Accuracy underflow bug can be used to continuously inflict Immobilize on her, making the battle trivial.
