Giruveganus

Giruveganus is a dragon/tyrant-type enemy in Final Fantasy XII found in the Feywood and the Great Crystal, as well the Zodiac versions' Trial Mode in Stage 83. It is surrounded by thick Mist, like an Aeronite. When fought as a regular enemy, it has the Carabineer Mail as a rare steal.
Behemoth King shares the same spawn-point as Giruveganus. To spawn the Behemoth King, the player must kill the Giruveganus in Edge of Reason, then move to Ice Field of Clearsight and clear all enemies, and Behemoth King will spawn in Giruveganus's place.
If the player kills Giruveganus in Edge of Reason, leaves the zone and returns, there will be no enemies in that area (other than Behemoth King if spawned).
== Bestiary entry ==
=== Page 1: Observations ===
:Being a tyrant-wyrm driven to madness by Mist; now a violent, capricious creature. The naturalist Merlose writes, in one of her most harrowing accounts: '...that hideous Mist which spilleth forth from its dark core raiseth a mirage before the eyes, and I am blind with fear and apprehension, for its nebulous form is madness incarnate. I pray that my skill with the blade faileth me not in this most dire circumstance.' Its eyes shine with a curious luminescence, allowing it to see quite well in dark, underground corridors.
=== Page 2: The Adventurer's Handbook ===
:Tis the height of folly to brandish arms against a tyrant that has no more form than a mirage. The broken greataxes left by those who tried and failed should be proof enough of that. In order to truly defeat a foe, one must know more than the foe's character and physiology. One must listen to what the dead have to say on the subject. No one wants to be next in line to have their greataxe broken.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Giruveganus is a powerful enemy with various physical attacks. Its basic attack has a small chance to inflict Confuse, while Sonic Fangs and Crushing Fangs have a chance to instantly kill the target.
=== Strategy ===
The battle is trivial if the player inflicts Sleep on Giruveganus and then attacks with magic to not wake it. Most elements of magic work (except for dark). Holy does double damage, but it is acquired after Giruveganuses can first be encountered. Firaga is effective if the player also inflicts Oil.
If not using Sleep, then Blind at least should be inflicted so the Giruveganus's attacks often miss. As the player can use physical attacks unlike in the Sleep strategy, Holy Lance and Excalibur are useful weapons to equip.
