Belhelmel is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII, commonly found on the Galbadian continent. It has a rotating blade around its face and its battle tactics change when its face changes.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Belhelmel can enter two modes—Laughing mode, initiated with the message "Belhelmel laughed!", and Furious mode, initiated with the message "Belhelmel is furious!". Beginning the battle in Laughing mode, it will swing lightly with a merry face, using magic attacks and countering magic attacks with its Laser-Eye. In Furious mode, Belhelmel will swing and display an angry face, using physical attacks and countering with one of its own. As a flying enemy, Earth-elemental attacks will not work on it.
This monster is frequently partnered with either Geezards or Blood Souls. When level 30+, it may rarely drop a Laser Cannon, notable for refining into Pulse Ammo, a component needed to model Squall's ultimate weapon, Lion Heart, and for teaching Quistis a powerful Blue Magic spell: Homing Laser.
=== Strategy ===
While laughing, Belhelmel can be rendered unable to attack by inflicting it either with silence or berserk, preventing it from using any magical attack.
== Triple Triad ==
Belhelmel is a Level 2 Monster Card in Triple Triad used to play the minigame and for turning into Saw Blade with Quezacotl's Card Mod.
