Bahamut (VII Remake)

Bahamut is a summoning materia in Final Fantasy VII Remake. It summons Bahamut, a dragon whose non-elemental magic attacks deal major damage to enemies. It is based on on the summon from the original Final Fantasy VII with the same appearance and special attack. It is a gray dragon with a humanoid body, long neck and tail and large wings. It glows purple under its scales and it has purple pupil-less eyes. It has horns, small tusks and clawed hands and feet.

After acquiring the Bahamut materia, the player can set it to any playable character's weapon and summon the dragon in battle when the command becomes available. Summoning Bahamut costs 2 ATB segments. Its attacks deal non-elemental magic damage. Because Bahamut is a large summon, it can only be called forth in more open arenas.
When not being commanded by the player, it will attack by shooting three orange energy waves that travel across the floor in a straight line, and by kicking and clawing at the opponent. When its summon time is almost up, it will clad itself in crimson energy and begin to glow with Umbral Aura; in this state, its ATB moves are much stronger, thus the player may want to aim for a full ATB bar for when Bahamut's time is almost up to make most of it.
Bahamut cannot be summoned against itself in VR missions.
If the player summons Bahamut against the Hell House, they get the following commentary:
:Kotch: What? Do my eyes deceive me? The king of dragons has graced us with his royal presence!
:Scotch: I hope you have insurance, because safety is not guaranteed. None of us may make it out of here alive!
==Behind the scenes==
Bahamut's design went through many iterations before the team settled in the final one.
Among survey respondents, Bahamut was the most popular summon at 40%, followed by Shiva at 20% and Ifrit at 19%.
