Quetzalcoatl (Final Fantasy XV)

Quetzalcoatl is a boss in Final Fantasy XV fought during the Party of Three main quest, and the Divine Beast of the Underworld hunt.
If the player uses a glitch to open the way to the Vesperpool before it is meant to be visited as part of the story, they will be trapped in Steyliff Grove if they kill quetzalcoatl too early. The Mythril Ore will not appear, so the party can't leave the room.
The monoliths in Steyliff Grove Menace dungeon describe a flying monster around Vesperpool that attacked an Oracle and a king with lightning, killing the former.The waters of the Vesperpool had turned a sea of fireSmoky, swirling billows had enshrouded the mireSearing bolts of lightning cracked downward from the skiesYet 'twere not clouds but wings that soared before my very eyesWere our foe the Scourge of Stars, it could have be purifiedYet this menace was no daemon—that, we soon descriedThe Oracle I loved was slain and with our flags she burnedBeleaguered and bereft, to the forest I returned This seems to describe a monster similar to quetzalcoatl.
==Bestiary==
:;Alpha
:Flying reptile that grew in size as a means of increasing its survivability. Although it developed a few distinctly avian features over the course of its evolution—its legs, in particular—the quetzalcoatl has otherwise retained a primarily reptilian physiology.
:Size: 57.08 ft. Weight: 59.54 t
:;Beta
:Winged reptile that soars around Steyliff Grove. It will occasionally venture outside the ruins and inadvertently wreak havoc on houses, causing alarm among the citizenry and the Hunters. A territorially minded creature, the quetzalcoatl defends its home while respecting the domains of its brethren, refusing to encroach upon their respective spaces.

==Battle==
Quetzalcoatl is a flying enemy that swoops down to hit the party and moves around rapidly, making it difficult to hit. It uses both physical and magical attacks, and the magic attacks are Lightning-elemental and inflict Shocked status. It is weak to polearms, daggers, and ice.
Its attacks that involve lightning deal magical damage. When the quetzalcoatl dives down at the player from above, the player can parry: if the player is hit by quetzalcoatl the damage is physical, but if only the lightning from the attack hits, it does magical Lightning-elemental damage. Quetzalcoatl shoots balls of lightning that explode when they hit the ground, sending pulses of electricity around the battlefield. When it is on the ground it can store up energy and send jolts around its vicinity.
Aranea will assist the party in the battle, and using her Technique helps keep the bird grounded. As a guest, she cannot be defeated. Ramuh may randomly be summoned during the battle.
===Strategy===
The player can try to lock onto the wings and then warp-strike to them to break them for extra item drops. Holding the defense button allows the player to dodge quetzalcoatl's lightning ball attack. When it's on the ground sending jolts around the player can use use hit-and-run tactics. The player can try get behind it using warps as the bird struggles attacking targets behind itself. When it is flying, it may be better to wait for it to land.
Blizzard magic is helpful. The player can also use the Ice Spear. Character-swapping to Ignis lets him use Ice-elemental dagger attacks, but because the enemy flies he might struggle hitting it. Character-swapping to Prompto lets the player aim at the bird when it flies, and also hit its wings.
