Behemoth (Final Fantasy VIII)

Behemoth is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII. It is a powerful monster that begins to roam the Esthar region after the Lunar Cry. Devouring it can grant a permanent stat boost to Magic. Quistis can learn its Mighty Guard as a Blue Magic from the Barrier item the monster yields.
==Stats==
In the Japanese version Behemoth's HP formula is 3(Lv)^2 + 260(Lv) + 35000.
== Battle ==
Behemoth uses powerful attacks and spells, such as Meteor, as well as the Blue Magic spell Mighty Guard, which is used one time after falling below 30% HP. At level 40+, Behemoths can counter physical attacks with Meteor, and can cast Meteor or Flare as a final attack.
Devouring a level 40+ Behemoth will raise the devourer's Magic stat by one.
=== Strategy ===
Behemoths can be easily defeated by junctioning 100 units of Death magic to Status Attack, or by casting Blind and Silence on it, which will render it useless. Doomtrain also works well against one.
== Triple Triad ==
Behemoth is a Level 5 Monster Card used for playing Triple Triad and for turning into Barrier with Quezacotl's Card Mod, though it takes a high 10 cards to make one Barrier. If the player is tenacious enough, this is regardless a way to get Quistis's Mighty Guard Limit Break early.
