Final Fantasy Summons: Bahamut

The black-scaled King of Dragons is nearly always one of the most powerful summons. His primary attack, "Mega Flare", does non-elemental damage. Generally, he is one of the most difficult monsters to beat in order to get him to join you. In FF1, he appeared as a non-summonable character, who upgraded your class if you gave him the Rat's Tail item. In FF4, he was the God of Summons. He's such a popular character that he merited his own strategy/RPG game for SNES - Bahamut Lagoon.

FF12: The Bahamut is a giant warship, the final dungeon in the game. In addition, the final boss, The Undying, bears a huge resemblance to Bahamut. Vayne and Venat merge with parts of the Bahamut to create a giant metallic dragon (complete with a dragon's head above Vayne's). The Undying's attacks are Megaflare, Gigaflare, and Teraflare, and the eye color and even camera angles during the attacks seem to be a tribute to FF7's three Bahamut versions.

CP: No. 1 Sky Fortress Class Airship. Belonging to the Western divisions of the Archadian Imperial Army, a mobile fortress and tactical base, under the control of the commandant of the Archadian forces, Lord Vayne. This was the last sky fortress designed by Dr. Cid, powered both by ordinary skystone and manufacted nethicite, the latter absorbing Mist from its surroundings to generate the massive amounts of energy the fortress requires to function.
