Catoblepas (Final Fantasy XII)

Catoblepas is a Rank VI Mark in Final Fantasy XII. The hunt becomes available after the storyline events in Giruvegan.
There is also a scene later on where the party watches a Catoblepas being defeated by Fury in the Necrohol of Nabudis.
Catoblepas is also fought in the Zodiac versions' Trial Mode at Stage 52 where the Golden Axe can be rarely stolen from it.

== How to find ==
Catoblepas is located at the eastern part of Hourglass Basin, in its hidden area.
Once in Hourglass Basin, the player must use the south exit to the Undershore, then use the secret path located after the save crystal, reaching Hourglass Basin's secret area, where War-chief Supinelu will be waiting.
== Battle ==
Catoblepas's attacks are similar to Behemoth-class enemies', only harder and faster—dealing 3,000–3,500 damage. It can inflict the party with statuses with Wail that it uses when it hits HP Critical. This is the time the player should finish it quick as chain attacks become more common.
=== Strategy ===
Reaching the save crystal near the Zertinan Caverns' secret pathway, it would be wise to cast as many buffs as possible on the party, War-Chief Supinelu included. Traps are scattered in some spots, making Float almost as useful as Haste. The party should begin with Dispel and debuffs on Catoblepas before charging in to attack.
War-Chief Supinelu should be casting magicks, but he can dish out a few physical attacks occasionally, although his physical attacks are weak. Catoblepas's powerful blows can easily bring down one of the party, if they are not high level enough, but Bubble can greatly improve their survival rate.
The player can try blinding Catoblepas to ease up the battle; this is easiest with Nihopalaoa. Casting Blind spells with the Indigo Pendant is also guaranteed to work.
