Garuda (Final Fantasy X)

Garuda in Final Fantasy X is a monstrous bird-like creature that appears in three areas in Spira.
==Stats==
==Battles==
The first two Garudas are fought in Besaid as tutorial battles, and it is the island's toughest fiend. Due to its sheer size, Yuna is called on to summon Valefor. The second Garuda is mitigated by Wakka's Dark Attack.
The third time it appears is during a story sequence when fiends attack Luca during the blitzball final. The Garuda here is slightly tougher, but Auron will be in the party, and the combination of his Power Break and Wakka's Dark Attack will make the fight easy. The Garuda will use Sonic Boom on its turn and has a 30% chance of countering attacks, and will always counter when below 40% HP. It will not use Sonic Boom or counterattacks if Provoked.
After these two sets of story-related encounters, Garudas can be randomly encountered in the Valley of the Mushroom Rock Road both during and after Operation Mi'ihen. They are a little tougher, but inflicting Darkness makes all the difference. Poison also works extremely well, inflicting a thousand damage every time it takes a turn. Like the Garudas in Besaid, they have a 1/3 chance of prioritizing their attacks on Wakka, and their attacks now have a small chance of inflicting Darkness.
