FF8 - Jumbo Cactuar

Attack: 1000 Needles
Starting Level: 20
Starting HP: 1766
Element: None

Location

Cactuar Island. Need I say more? Near Edea's house, to the east of the Centra continent, there's an island with a huge green thing sticking out of it. Land on the island, run against the green cactus thing and fight Jumbo Cactuar (easier said than done, he's rather strong) to gain him as a GF with many useful abilities. Especially the bonuses are insane, as they can raise your characters' strength immensely with a bit of patience. Don't forget to get this GF! I first played FF8 with my friend, and what can I say, she does not appreciate my cactus- spotting abilities:
"Fly back! Fly back! I swear I just saw a huge cactus on that island thing!"
"...a what?"
"A cactus! A GIANT CACTUS! GO BACK!!"
(Yes, we ended up getting him in the end. But it took me a while to convince her that I was 100% sober at the time...)
