Black Knight (Final Fantasy)

The Black Knight, also known as the BADMAN, is an enemy from the original Final Fantasy. It can be encountered in the Mirage Tower, Flying Fortress, and Chaos Shrine. It has very high Magic resistance and no real weakness, and may be encountered alongside the Nightmare. It yields large amounts of gil and EXP, and in the 20th Anniversary and Dawn of Souls releases can drop the Deathbringer, a powerful sword exclusive to those versions.
