Enemy Compendium

Template:See Also Responding to the call of the Azure Dragon Crystal, Lady Celestia transformed herself into an enormous wyvern far more powerful than any mere monster. Shinryu Celestia has sprouted two additional heads that exhale flames and lightning respectively, and she simply swallows those who survive her multi-elemental onslaught. Even the mighty Eidolons are no match for the power of this Secundus l'Cie.

Battle

Shinryu Celestia may be nigh impossible to win on the first playthrough, as her attacks hit hard and will probably kill in one hit. She periodically retreats into the darkness, but her eyes can be seen from a distance allowing the player to predict where she will reappear. Breaksight strikes only inflict 1% of her total HP and she has a flinch resistance of 99 ensuring she will never be interrupted. She also receives reduced physical damage—half from ballistic and 0.7 from all others—so magic is the preferred choice. If all of the party die, Bahamut ZERO is summoned. To win the fight, a fully charged Teraflare must hit its mark.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Shinryu is the Japanese on'yomi name for Shénlóng, literally "god/divine dragon", an important ancient dragon in Chinese mythology. It is said to preside over storms and rain, and can bring disastrous drought, thunderstorms and general bad weather if it feels neglected and/or angered.

Though Shinryu's name is taken from the East Asian dragon which normally is depicted with four claws and no wings, it does not greatly resemble the mythological Shénlóng, as it originally had five claws on each hand as opposed to four as a way to show higher-rank (as well as sharing the same azure color as another mythological dragon, the Qīnglóng/Seiryu).

The Final Fantasy depiction of Shinryu's most iconic recurring design more closely resembles the European wyvern, a dragon-like serpent with two claws and two wings.
