Ramuh

Ramuh , also known as Indra, is a recurring character and summoned creature in the Final Fantasy series. He is affiliated with thunder and lightning, and appears as an old man carrying a staff. His signature attack is Judgment Bolt.
== Profile ==
Ramuh has maintained the same basic appearance across the series with minor variations. Ramuh is an old man with a long beard and mustache, balding, and wearing flowing robes. The exact design of Ramuh's robes has varied. He carries a staff that he uses to call down bolts of lightning on enemies, including his signature Judgement Bolt.
Ramuh is one of the few summons to play a major role in the storyline of a game. In Final Fantasy VI, Ramuh calls Terra Branford to him when she loses control of her magical powers, and helps calm her while she regains her senses. He relates to the party the general details of the War of the Magi and what has led the espers to flee the human world, before becoming magicite and aid the party in battle.
In Final Fantasy IX, Ramuh appears to Princess Garnet and gives her a trial requiring the party to find the parts of a story and relate them to Ramuh, before Ramuh becomes Garnet's eidolon.
In Final Fantasy XV, Ramuh is one of six gods that watch over Eos. He sleeps waiting for the chosen prince, Noctis Lucis Caelum, to rise and prove his worth.

==== Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- ====
Ramuh can be summoned in battle using the Ramuh Materia. He uses the attack Judgement Bolt, a lightning-elemental attack that hits all opponents. His appearance is based on his original appearance in Final Fantasy VII.
===Final Fantasy VII remake project===
Ramuh appears exclusively in "Episode INTERmission" and, outside of DLC summons, is the only available for Yuffie to use. He is obtained in Chapter 1 - "Wutai's Finest" by completing Chadley's VR Battle Simulator. His appearance has been visually updated from his original Final Fantasy VII incarnation, incorporating more purple in both his clothing and attacks to represent his Thunder element. In hard mode, Ramuh can be fought in the Shinra Combat Simulator in Advanced Weaponry Division as part of an optional challenge.
Players who have a save from "Episode INTERmission" on their console when starting Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, gain Ramuh's materia at the start of the game.
=== Final Fantasy IX ===
Ramuh is an eidolon who plays a role in the story. After Zidane Tribal, Vivi Ornitier, and Princess Garnet flee Alexandria, they wind up in the Pinnacle Rocks. Ramuh agrees to help Garnet if she can pass his test of completing a story and rewards her with a Peridot, which can be used to learn him as a summon for 30 AP. Ramuh reveals to Zidane and Vivi that whatever ending Garnet chose for the story, he would lend her his power; the story was simply to test her character. It is possible to leave Pinnacle Rocks without completing this quest, but the player can still obtain more Peridots later to teach Garnet Ramuh's summon.
Ramuh's summon attack is Judgement Bolt that deals Lightning damage to all opponents. The magic power for Ramuh's summon under normal circumstances is 31. When the full animation plays, the power is equal to 32 plus the amount of Peridots in the party's inventory. If Ramuh is added to Dagger's roster of eidolons since the start of the game via a cheating device, he costs 88 MP to summon before she has her eidolons extracted. When acquired normally, he costs 22 MP to summon.
=== Final Fantasy XI ===
Ramuh is one of six celestial Avatars. He represents the lightning element. The job class Summoner can unlock Ramuh upon completion of the quest "Trial by Lightning".

Ramuh makes a minor appearance as an Eidolon in the Pompa Sancta at Nautilus Park. He is summoned to battle Ifrit to defend Cocoon. There is also an area in Eden named Ramuh Interchange. The Final Fantasy XIII Ultimania Omega further reveals that Ramuh was, at some point, planned to be a Pulse fal'Cie, depicted towering over the landscape as an old man smoking a pipe.

=== Final Fantasy XIV ===
Ramuh appears as the Primal of the sylphs, and the stern guardian of the Black Shroud. He is, however, far less aggressive than many of his brethren, and is not actually fought in the initial A Realm Reborn storyline.
He plays a major role in the Defenders of Eorzea arc. Tempered sylphs have summoned him in response to repeated incursions into their part of the Twelveswood, and the player must face his trial to convince him that most Eorzeans mean no harm to the sylphs. During battle, he can summon several smaller versions of himself, known as Grey Arbiters that, unless defeated, will cause Ramuh's Judgement Bolt to wipe the player party.
Defeating Ramuh in more difficult, Extreme battle, will reward player with lightning-thematic weapons resembling the primal's own weapon. 
Another Ramuh appears as a boss in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers at the Eden Raid, a version of the primal summoned from the memories of the Warrior of Light via Eden's power. This Primal is summoned and defeated in order to restore Lightning-aspect aether to the wastelands of the Empty. In contrast to the Final Fantasy incarnations and his counterpart on the Source, this Ramuh's appearance is based on a Pterocentaur, with black and red wings and the lower body of a striped horse similar to another lightning-elemental summon, Ixion; his upper body appears more muscular and with much shorter, trimmed beard. His staff is now resembles a spear, rather than magical rod.
Defeating Ramuh in both story and Savage difficulties will award player with currency which can be exchanged for powerful equipment.
Additionally, this Ramuh is also can be obtained as a mount once the savage version of Eden's Verse: Refulgence has been completed.
