Adrammelech, the Wroth is an optional level one Esper in Final Fantasy XII. He is fought in the middle of the Zertinan Caverns and can be unlocked once defeated. His attacks are Lightning-based.
Adrammelech's license costs 25 LP, and he requires one Mist Charge to summon.
==Profile==
Adrammelech is associated with the zodiac sign of Capricorn, the Goat. He has power over the element of Lightning, and is an optional Esper. He has a dragon-like form with a goat-like head and the cloven hooves. Due to his power over thunder, his color sign is yellow. Adrammelech is also referred to as the Makara Ascendant, the Sanskrit name of its zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.
Adrammelech is based on a Lucavi from Final Fantasy Tactics. Adrammelech and Zeromus are the only Espers from Final Fantasy XII not to return in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.

===Abilities===

;Flash Arc
A Lightning-elemental attack. It is like the standard higher level Thunder spell. Its power is boosted in the Zodiac releases.
;Judgment Bolt
A Lightning-elemental attack, and Adrammelech's ultimate attack. When he is readying Judgment Bolt, Adrammelech is surrounded by a greenish-yellow aura. Spiraling upwards, in high-speed flight, Adrammelech suffuses his body with electrical energy. The clouds surrounding Adrammelech darken and he unleashes bolts of lightning from his body, sundering the ground around the enemy. A blast of lightning strikes the enemy, sending debris flying into the air.

==Boss==
Adrammelech is a boss fought in the Zertinan Caverns in the Athroza Quicksands. It is also fought in the Zodiac versions at stage 35 of the Trial Mode along with two Skulwyrms. It is the only Esper the player can farm High Arcana from, since the party can flee one screen during the battle, then return and steal again. One does not need to possess the Canopic Jar to make the High Arcanas available. Adrammelech resists all elements but Ice that he is weak to. He is a flying opponent. As soon as the player steps into the area, Shambling Corpses will emerge out of the ground and will keep on spawning. Adrammelech has powerful Lightning-type spells, and its Thundaja can be deadly. Adrammelech can also use Bleed. In HP Critical it will use Thundaja regardless of any action taken. If this attack does not KO the party, he will use Perfect Defense, which negates all physical and magickal attacks for a time.
