Typhon

Typhon , also known as Typhoon or Chupon, is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series. He is Ultros's partner and also appears as a summon. Typhon appears as a large purple and pink monster with a large mouth and a second face on his rear end. Typhon's trademark attack is Snort, which can either kill a party member instantly or remove them from battle.
==Appearances==

Typhon appears in the Dawn of Souls, Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary, iOS and Windows Phone releases as an optional boss in Whisperwind Cove, appearing along with Orthros, Phantom Train and Death Gaze. Typhon can use Snort to instantly kill a party member, and drops a Genji Helm upon defeat.

After the cataclysm, Ultros is hired as a receptionist at Dragon's Neck Coliseum, and Typhon fights in the arena on his behalf to help him. If the player bets an item of insufficient rarity or value, Typhon will put up an Elixir and battle the player, using Snort on his first turn to end the battle instantly and the item that was bet is returned to the player.
===Final Fantasy VII===
Typhon (known as Typoon in the PlayStation release) is a summon. His Summon Materia is located in the Ancient Forest treetops. Typhon's special attack, Disintegration , costs 160 MP, and inflicts Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Earth-elemental damage on all enemies, ignoring defense but missing flying enemies.

Upon defeat he can be recruited into the Paradigm Pack as a Commando while having his signature Snort attack as his Feral Link ability.
===Final Fantasy XIV===
Typhon appears in the Hildibrand Manderville sidequests for patch 2.4 as a monster kept in Master Fygreis's Coliseum. Due to his allergy to the scent of uncooked truffles, Typhon was used by Ultros to make it seem Avia can use Tempest Blade. Once the deception of Avia's Tempest Blade is exposed, Ultros convinces Dour Meadow to let Typhon and himself fight the adventurer in the Dragon's Neck arena. After losing, Typhon is present at the award ceremony before being forced to sneeze up a strong wind by the thief of many faces that sends Ultros and Gilgamesh flying.
Typhon also appears in Manderville Gold Saucer in the "Any Way the Wind Blows" game, and is available as a mount via the Typhon Horn for 750,000 MGP.
He is described as being a friendly Voidsent who, along with Ultros, was summoned by the Thaumaturge Guild's experiments.
Typhon reappears in the stage "Miss Typhon" in acts 1 and 3 at the Masked Carnivale. Defeating him without defeating Ultros or his tentacles rewards you "Octopath Traveler" achievement.
