Air Cutter Remora

Air Cutter Remora is the tutorial boss in Final Fantasy XII fought in the prologue. While on a rescue mission to save their king, Dalmascan knights—including Basch and Reks—are ambushed by an Air Cutter Remora, codenamed Tonberry. Basch ends the battle by unleashing Fulminating Darkness, his 1st Rank Quickening.
Generic aircraft using the Air Cutter Remora's model with different texturing are used in other parts of the game. For example, a red and black colored version is used by Doctor Cid to flee after the first battle with him. In Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, the Remora esper is based more on Air Cutter Remora than the original Remora summon.

==Battle==
The player controls a Lv.3 Reks, who is equipped with a Mythril Sword and a shield, and a knowledge of basic White and Black Magick. There are also three other low-level Dalmascan soldiers, including Basch, who have Attack powers higher than Reks. The accompanying Dalmascan soldiers will hand out infinite Potions to those with low HP, making the battle effectively impossible to lose.
Air Cutter Remora will unleash its special attack, Remora Strike, at least three times during the battle, according to how much HP it has left. When it has 40% HP left, Basch will unleash Fulminating Darkness, ending the battle.
