Here I have assembled 24 riddles referring to Final Fantasy enemies. 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 Saturday June 15, 2018 to qualify.



1. This gargantuan monster will impale you with its horns if you get too close. And watch out for Meteor!

2. This hog-like beast may use electrocute to give its attacks a little spark.

3. This Draconian can be a hellish enemy. Try not to have a meltdown.

4. A mean, green enemy with a lantern and knife to cut through the dark.

5. This big cat has been known to cause paralysis in heroes.

6. This enemy may be small but it will sing you to sleep and then jab you awake.

7. This tentacled plant has perpetual smoker’s breath.

8. Don’t try brute force on this enemy. Your attacks will just bounce right off.

9. This enemy is bigger than you and so is its sword.

10. This enemy may look cute but it will give you 1000 reasons not to mess with it.

11. Hitting this enemy just feeds its explosive temper.

12. This enemy is hard but a little ice usually softens it up.

13. This enemy fights dirty, literally and figuratively (seriously, it lives in the ground and hits hard).

14. Dancing with this enemy may leave you dazed and confused, not to mention sluggish and blind.

15. Beware. This enemy’s beak may get you stoned.

16. This amalgamation has no rhyme or reason. Well, it previously had rhymes.

17. This carnivorous mollusc has legs and jokes aplenty.

18. Don’t be fooled by this cute sheep. He’s fast and deadly so make him sleep.

19. This fiendish foe may seem ocularly challenged but its gaze works just fine.

20. This giant avian is often tough but well worth the reward.

21. If you have the skills to defeat this enemy and want to prove it, just ring the bell.

22. Don’t stare into this enemy’s gaping maw, lest you get sucked into it.

23. This enemy likes to stay cold so keep your filthy hot-springs touching hands away.

24. With the right combination, you'll encounter this enemy. If you defeat it, you'll receive a cosmic reward.
 
Can’t wait to sit down and work on this breakthrough FF challenge! Great idea, seriously.
 
Whew, a few of those are brutal. Trying to keep track of per-game permutations of enemies, bosses, and species on top just the enemies in general was hard. Confident I got most correct. But there are a few I no doubt got wrong. Good luck to everyone!
 
Anyone else want to take a stab at this?

Also I just realized I put Saturday, June 15. :ffs:

I'll accept entries until tomorrow and then post the results on Monday.
 
Touuuugh! I'm positive I have at least five correct answers though.
 
Thanks to everyone who participated. Here are the results:

1st Place: ZaXo Ken'Ichi with 17/24 correct.
2nd Place: Charmy with 17/24 correct.
3rd Place: Galadin with 17/24 correct.

Since all three of you had the same number of correct answers, I had to go in order of who submitted their answers first. Congrats guys!

Other participants:

Soulcorruptor - 14/24
Mitsuki - 11/24

I'm gonna have to write this down on my FFF Manuscript notebook, if you don't mind! :P I love collecting random FF notes and fun stuff.

...Also, I can't believe I failed this...less than 50% =[
 
It was an interesting collection of answers that I received. Some that I thought were obvious turned out to be not so obvious. :lew:

For example, LJ was the only one to get number 3 correct and I thought that one would be easy.
 
I can't believe I got number 3 wrong.

I'll just copy/paste my answers since I don't remember what I put down. I know I skipped some though.

Ochu! That makes sense. I was thinking Malboro but I know that wasn't it since I already answered that.

I still think I should've gotten partial credit for #9 and #24 :awesome:
 
Wait, I was? How? I don't understand what Lost Number means. :hmmm:
 
Darn it, so my guess ended up partially correct. Did I say it wasn't a serious answer? I meant, that was a serious answer! :lew:
 
I honestly thought the third one was Kaiser Dragon although I did think of the Ruby Dragon too but didn't see where the "hellish" part fit in with it. Since the Kaiser Dragon lives in a dungeon he describes as a "sanctuary for wayward souls" and the party does have to go into the depths of the dungeon to fight him, I thought this was what the clue was alluding to, especially since he also uses Meltdown :lew:
 
Ruby Dragon can be fought on the Island Closest to Hell. It is extremely susceptible to Meltdown. I guess over all it's hard to find clues that might not relate to more than one enemy. :hmmm:

Of course, the Island Closest to Hell! I had forgotten of the Ruby Dragons there, I kept thinking of the research facility where Bahamut is :facepaw: Duh!
