Zeromus (Ivalice)

Zeromus the Condemner is an Esper from the world of Ivalice. The Esper of Gravity, he represents the zodiac sign of Cancer, the Crab, and thus has a giant claw. From his power of Gravity, his color sign is indigo. He is also referred to as the Karka Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.
Zeromus is based on the final boss from Final Fantasy IV, Zeromus. Beyond sharing the name, they use the signature attack, Big Bang, and are both beings consumed by hate. The Esper's design resembles Zeromus's alternate form.
