* ConfusionFu: He has one of the largest attack lists in the entire game, which vary on if they're blockable or not, if they're physical or magical, and encompass a variety of mechanics, which makes it very hard to predict what's coming next.

** His signature move, Ultimate Illusion, returns.

* OlympusMons: Most of the Summons are [[PhysicalGod deific entities]] born from the Lifestream, and are thought to have once been worshiped by the Cetra.[[note]]Bugenhagen reveals in ''Rebirth'' that the Cetra were actually [[FlatEarthAtheist atheistic]], though many of the deiform entities called forth by the Summon materia ''were'' worshipped by ancient humans.[[/note]] While most of the original Cetra-made materia used to summon them have been lost to the ages, Chadley is able to recreate them using battle data obtained from Cloud's team.

* BattleAura: His Umbral Aura skill has him cloak itself in an aura that deals DamageOverTime. As it gets closer to using Megaflare, the aura gets stronger.
* BreathWeapon: His classic Flare Breath skill has him breathe purple fire. Also, his Umbral Inferno skill has him fire several {{Homing Projectile}}s from its mouth. It also breathes purple flames onto enemies it manages to grab, and its Ultimate Attack -- Megaflare -- has it spit a ball of plasma that deals 9999 damage.
* CastingAShadow: Many of his attacks, such as his Umbral Strikes skill seem to be darkness-based.
* DashAttack: One of his normal attacks has him perform a spinning dive at you.
* DeathFromAbove: His Divebomb skill has him dive at your party from above with a small explosion.
* DestroyerDeity: In ''Rebirth'' Chadley calls it a god of destruction, noting that he's surprised it has even more powerful forms.
* DragonsAreDivine: It's a legendary dragon-god thought to have once been worshiped by the Cetra, though it's actually the least-powerful of the Bahamuts.
* EnergyBall: His Umbral Strikes skill has it conjure orbs of darkness in his hands and toss them at you.
* EyeBeams: His Umbral Gaze skill, a move he rarely uses, has him fire lasers from his eyes that will inflict Stop on anyone they hit.
* FantasticNuke: His SignatureMove, Megaflare. Bahamut will periodically begin a five-second countdown and gather energy around himself. When the countdown ends, it will use Megaflare and deal massive damage to your party. Staggering him will reset the countdown and remove his aura.

* GrappleMove: Bahamut can snatch opponents up in his talons, and blasts them with a torrent of purple flames.
* MagicNuke: His Megaflare attack has him spit a ball of plasma that creates a mushroom cloud explosion and deals 9999 damage.

* PlotLock: Due to the combination of Bahamut flying around the battlefield and his size, he cannot be summoned in certain battles due to the battlefield otherwise limiting his movement.
* PutOnABus: The major summon of ''Remake'' not brought over to ''Rebirth''. Bahamut Arisen takes his spot in the summon lineup for all intents and purposes.
* SuperBoss: Bahamut requires all magic materia to be mastered to be unlocked. Considering how much grinding it would take to master certain types before the endgame, Bahamut is likely only to be unlocked during the second playthrough and has the stats and power to match, beating him is probably a harder accomplishment than the regular final boss. While Pride and Joy prototype is the last boss of Chadley's simulations, it's weaknesses means the Bahamut rematch where he can summon Ifrit is probably the real final challenge.
* ThemeNaming: All of his skills are prefixed with the word Umbral.
* TimeLimitBoss: Calling back to some prior incarnations of Bahamut and Tiamat, shortly into the fight Bahamut begins a five-count to casting Megaflare. While the attack isn't a guaranteed TotalPartyKill, it might as well be.
* WolverineClaws: His main form of offense comes in the form of swiping you with his scarily long, powerful claws. His Claw Swipe skill has him drag his claws along the ground and release four waves of energy while his Umbral Frenzy skil has him perform a deadly eight hit combo with his claws.

* AttackDrone: His Summon Sparks skill has it, well, summon sparks that will energize Ramuh, causing a HolyHalo to from behind him. If the sparks aren't destroyed before the halo is complete, Ramuh will unleash Judgement Bolt and deal massive damage to the party.
* BarrierWarrior: His Lightning Rampart skill has it create a wall of lightning in front of him that will block attacks.

* BoltOfDivineRetribution: His SignatureMove, Judgement Bolt has it strike down foes with a massive bolt of lightning. His Lightning Strike skill is a smaller version of this trope.

* EnergyBall: His Thunderous Orbs skill has it fire lightning orbs that zigzag towards you.

* EpicFlail: Ramuh's Spark Flail has it create a medieval flail made of lightning and swing it at you.
* GroundPunch: His Charged Current skill has it slam his staff to the ground, creating a large shockwave of electricity.
* HolyHalo: When summoned, a halo will slowly form behind him, and when completed, he'll cast Judgment Bolt. In his VR boss fight, he'll summon sparks that will energize Ramuh, causing a HolyHalo to from behind him. If the sparks aren't destroyed before the halo is complete, Ramuh will unleash Judgement Bolt and deal massive damage to the party.
* JavelinThrower: His Voltaic Lance skill has it call down a lance of lightning that will linger on the battlefield, stunning any enemy that wanders too close.
* MagicStaff: As always, Ramuh goes to battle armed with a staff to channel and manipulate lighting.

* RainOfArrows: His Levin Arrows skill has it rain down lightning arrows that linger on the battlefield, acting as obstacles that will stun you if you wander too close.

* SpellBlade: Ramuh's Luminous Falchion skill has it wreathing his staff in a blade of electricity and wielding it like a sword.

* FoodGod: Chadley claims it was worshiped as a harvest god in the past, and Kalm's current harvest festivals are based on the food tributes farmers offered to Titan in the past.
* FangsAreEvil: Has two large fangs on his lower jaw, as a sign of his otherworldness.

* PhysicalGod: He was worshiped as a creator deity throughout the Grasslands, and shrines devoted to him can be found throughout the region.
* ShockwaveStomp: His stomp attacks has a [=AoE=] shockwave effect.

* ThePhoenix: It is a legendary firebird with BornAgainImmortality--its special attack being to burn to ashes in a massive firestorm before rising from the flames anew.
* PlayingWithFire: As its name suggests, Phoenix has fire-based attacks superior to even those of Ifrit--just one of its feathers falling to the ground conjures a massive firestorm. However, its flames are said to imbue those they touch with renewed life.
* ThePowerOfCreation: Phoenix's flames can create life just as easily as they can burn them away. During the fight Phoenix will periodically create mooks to help it fight and after using Phoenix Flame an entire set of allies shows up with it.

* LightEmUp: He can fire bolts, blasts and pillars of holy light from its arm-cannons and power core.
* SweepingLaserExplosion: Its Judgement attack has it fire a beam of Holy energy from its head that trails an explosion so powerful that it creates a mushroom cloud.

* BrutishBulls: Kujata resembles a monstrous bull with six sets of horns--one for each of its three snouts.

* BreathWeapon: Its Flame Breath attack shoots purple flames from its jaws, its Laser Raze attack fires a narrow energy beam that trails explosions, and its Gigaflare fires a massive energy beam from its jaws.
* CameBackStrong: While Avalanche investigates the Divine Intel of Cosmo Canyon, Chadley comments that according to legend Bahamut was nearly killed during a fierce battle and sought refuge in Cosmo Canyon, where it was not only able to recover but ascended into Bahamut Arisen in the process.
* DegradedBoss: A relative example: [[spoiler:During the final battle sequence with Sephiroth Reborn, one phase has him summon a duplicate of Bahamut Arisen. This Bahamut is a fair amount weaker than the one you fight for his summon materia (particularly the full power Bahamut), but still can be dangerous. However, his health pool is low enough that you can take him down relatively fast. This is due to the fact that Sephiroth will simply revive him after a short period, as the ''real'' boss is Sephiroth's wings that heal Bahamut.]] Like most other summons, Bahamut Arisen will also be paired with another summon in several challenge battles, in its case always being paired with Titan.

* DragonsAreDivine: Like the original Bahamut, it is an ancient draconic deity worshiped as a god of destruction.

* MagicMissileStorm: Its Homing Shot attack and the leadup to its Gigaflare attack fire multiple volleys of purple energy projectiles from its wingtips that home in on an opponent.
* MetamorphosisMonster: It's said to be the result of Bahamut undergoing a metamorphosis into an even more powerful and destructive form, and Chadley suspects that Arisen isn't even Bahamut's final form--a reference to Bahamut Zero.

* SpinAttack: Its Soaring Slash and Whirlwind Slash attacks have it twirl in midair--vertically and horizontally respectively--while slicing opponents with its arm-blades.
* SpellBlade: When it enters Gigadrive Mode, it wreathes its arm-blades in crimson energy.

* TurnsRed: When the fight has worn on long enough, he'll swap out Gungnir for Zantetsuken, showing he's gotten more serious. Longer still, and he'll pull both out at once.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: He takes his loss to the party well, acknowledges Cloud's prowess, and departs wishing them well and that they get to fight again someday. It helps that by this time, he's regained his memories and realized they aren't the brigands he assumed, and he challenges them for its own sake.

* DegradedBoss: A relative example: [[spoiler:During the final battle sequence with Sephiroth Arisen, one phase has him summon a duplicate of Bahamut Arisen. This Bahamut is a fair amount weaker than the one you fight for his summon materia (particularly the full power Bahamut), but still can be dangerous. However, his health pool is low enough that you can take him down relatively fast. This is due to the fact that Sephiroth will simply revive him after a short period, as the ''real'' boss is Sephiroth's wings that heal Bahamut.]]

* TurnsRed: When the fight has worn on long enough, he'll swap out Gungnir for Zantetsuken, showing he's gotten more serious.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: He's much larger than the human characters, he has six arms, and his face looks vaguely mechanical, with the mouthpiece moving as though it was actually his lower piece. All things considered given his shifting appearance in other titles, it's plausible this is simply what he looks like when in this world.

** He's got an oversized replica of the Nail Bat and a sword similar to the Buster Sword on his back, alluding to his counterfeit weapons in other appearances. When fought again in Chadley's simulator, after his health begins to fall he'll use "Busted Sword and Massy Moon" and pull out replicas of Cloud and Sephiroth's signature weapons. He even uses knock-off attacks with them, like Blade Boom, Brave-ish, Heck's Gate, and Oct o'Slash.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gilgamesh_0.png]]

The infamous recurring swordsman of the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise has appeared in ''VII'' at last. Manifesting at first through visions of what seems to be a parallel dimension, he is eventually revealed to make his home on Gilgamesh Island, hidden in an underwater cave. He serves as the ArcVillain and FinalBoss of the protorelic sidequest, as it turns out that the mysterious artifacts the party is unknowingly tracking down are lost pieces of Gilgamesh's precious Genji equipment, and the unknown energy they give off is because he's from [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV another world]]. After Cloud and his allies settle things with him, Chadley creates a Summon Materia based on him that summons a simulacrum of Gilgamesh.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/KeithSzarabajka (English), Creator/KazuyaNakai (Japanese)

An artificial Summon created by Chadley, conjuring a simulacrum of a certain six-armed kabuki-themed samurai who has been wandering the multiverse collecting weapons.

[[/folder]]

* BloodKnight: His love of battle a fight mechanic -- using ATB skills, evading his attacks, and inflicting status ailments on him, will pressure Odin while simultaneously "thrilling" him. Fighting too passively disheartens him and eventually he'll use Zantetsuken to end the fight instantly.

* DeityOfMortalCreation: He's a mech used by an ancient civilization to smite their enemies, but in the present day he's worshipped as a god of judgement whose proclamations are absolute and cannot be defied. and he's used by parents to [[ScareEmStraight frighten unruly children into obedience]].
