Tiamat(Boss)

Tiamat is an optional boss in Final Fantasy VIII, encountered in the Clock Tower of Ultimecia Castle. She is arguably the strongest of Ultimecia's eight minions. Tiamat resembles Bahamut and uses a similar move. The Scan description indicates Tiamat was once a Guardian Force who was turned evil under Ultimecia's power. Tiamat will begin counting down to its signature move, Dark Flare, a similar ability to Bahamut's Mega Flare that deals heavy damage regardless of the characters' Spirit stat. Dark Flare is a Fire-elemental attack. Eden can be drawn from Tiamat if the player did not draw it from Ultima Weapon earlier. The battle can be made extremely easy by equipping fire-absorbing or fire-immune gear. In the Triple Triad minigame, Tiamat is a Level 7 Boss Card used for card modding, turning into ten Flare Stones.
