Octomammoth (Final Fantasy IV)

The Octomammoth, also known as Octomamm, is a boss from Final Fantasy IV. It blocks travelers using the Underground Waterway to reach Damcyan. Tellah has trouble defeating it, and recruits Cecil and Rydia to do it.
The Octomammoth was once an ordinary octopus that was mutated by unspecified "underwater experiments." Tellah comments that it is "an octomammoth", indicating it is not the only mutation of its type.
Octomammoth is weak and only uses physical attacks. Cecil should attack while Tellah and Rydia cast Thunder.

;Target Scores
* Exploit weakness to Lightning
* Exploit weakness to Dark attacks
;Abilities
* Attack: Deal physical damage to one target.
;Strategy
This battle also follows the patterns of its source, but it is likely the player will not be able to hit both targets unless the Black Mage has incurred enough damage to build his Soul Gauge sufficiently. The player only needs to cast each spell once, though, and can continue to hack at the beast until it falls. Since it initially has all eight arms, the Octomammoth strikes fast at first, but not hard; it will slow as its limbs drop away, but hit harder. White Mages can again Protect and Cure allies to soften the blows dealt.
In Elite mode, the Dark spell and high-level Thunder magic should make short work of it, with White Mages assisting as above. Tellah waited behind a Bonus Quest for the player, prior to The Burning Blade.
