Are you ready to test your knowledge of Final Fantasy foes? Here I have assembled 24 riddles referring to enemies in throughout the series. Some refer to very specific enemies, while some can apply to a more generic class of enemies. How many can you guess?

Participant responses should include the name of the enemy or class of enemies for each riddle. The participant with the most correct responses wins. In the event of a tie, winner will be selected by order of submission.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask below or send me a PM.

Responses should be submitted via PM/conversation to Ilyena by Sunday, June 14 to qualify.


1. You have a long wait before you fight this gargantuan creature but it might make a lot of nice rings.

2. This bull of an enemy is tough to beat but you will receive a holy reward.

3. A crushing defeat awaits if you don’t defeat this enemy quickly.

4. This deadly plant’s pollen causes more than just the sniffles.

5. This selfish feline demands fine gifts but gives nothing in return.

6. This enemy’s inherent status will bounce magic off of him and make it stick to you.

7. This samurai enemy believes in an Eye for an Eye.

9. Follow this flying enemy as it abducts artifacts to find out if it is friend or foe.

10. This enemy may be minuscule but attacking it may leave you paralyzed.

19. This enemy in a chest will rock your party if you aren’t prepared, but in a different way than the band that shares its name.

20. This slithery enemy has a painful embrace and a venomous bite.

21. Time is not on your side when you battle this Godly foe. When your time is up, you’ll be dead with a single blow.

23. Don’t be fooled by this enemy’s flowery name, it will knock you down.

24. Travel through ancient halls and find your way through a great maze to reach the End.
 
I've made a start and have made some attempts at roughly half of them.

Some of them are quite tricky though... Which is a great thing! It is good to have a challenge.

I'll chip away at this throughout the week when I get a moment.
