The Zaghnol is an enemy from Final Fantasy IX. Two versions of the enemy are fought, the first as the boss of the Festival of the Hunt, and the second as a random encounter in Pinnacle Rocks as well as various overworld areas of the Outer Continent: near Conde Petie, Desert Palace, and Mognet Central.
The Zaghnol can use Electrocute to charge itself up. Once electrocuted, it counters all attacks with Thundara that hits all party members. In the Festival of the Hunt, the player can steal the useful Needle Fork for Quina from it, and the outcome matters for the winner calculations, which determines the prize the player gets. In some versions, Freya cannot deal the finishing blow on the beast unless Zidane is KO'd (see AI script below). If both Freya and Zidane are defeated, Vivi wins the festival.
Quina's LV4 Holy works against the random encounter version of the enemy.
