3 Jenova (Final Fantasy VII)Īlthough Sephiroth gets most of the fanfare for being Final Fantasy VII's main villain, he wouldn't have been able to get nearly as far as he had without support from his mom - Jenova. Watching a squadron of Tonberries shuffle towards the party with unblinking eyes is always an unnerving experience. If all of that didn't make things bad enough, Tonberries typically boast deep HP pools, meaning that defeating them before they've knifed the party to death is no small undertaking. They behave uniquely on the battlefield - slowly creeping closer towards the party until they're in range to inflict instant death on the player.Ĭompounding their instant-kill attack, Tonberries will counter any damage they receive with an ability called "Karma." Karma is even more distressing because it scales its damage alongside the number of monsters the player has dispatched, meaning that higher-level characters will take the most punishment.
Easily one of the best enemies in all of Final Fantasy, they appear lovable at first glance, but these things are among the most dangerous enemies to be found in the Final Fantasy bestiary. This is technically cheating because a Tonberry isn't a character but a recurring enemy type, yet they still deserve a spot on this list on account of the panic and fear that they inspire in the hearts of Final Fantasy players.
This eerie ability is the cause for many of Final Fantasy VIII's most unnerving scenes, with many a young player being creeped out by a possessed Rinoa's unnatural gait as she attempted to vent herself into the vacuum of space at Ultimecia's command. They allow her to exert forces of possession over individuals, and she can manipulate specific elements of a target's subconscious to bring them to life, or manipulate them towards her own ends. What really makes her spooky, however, are her powers of mind manipulation.
Sounds pretty standard so far, but Ultimecia has a number of twists to her that set her apart, and she's a major reason why Final Fantasy VIII is still one of the most underrated titles in the series. Like many antagonists in the series, she wishes to ascend to some sort of godlike form, aiming to become omnipotent by subsuming all of time-space within herself. She's an unnaturally powerful sorceress gifted with powers over time, and a penchant for manipulating the psyches of her enemies. Ultimecia is the primary antagonist of Final Fantasy VIII and is notable for being the franchise's first major female villain.
