Aka "Sephiroth" (manifestations of capital-G God in the material world). …yes, the main antagonist of FFVII is named after the same concept. Well, he does have a god-complex.

It's the ONLY enemy in the game that uses Strago's Force Field Lore (sets all damage dealt and healed by a specified type to 0 [this overrides absorption]), so completionists should bring him to this fight. Locke and/or Gogo too, if you want that Safety Bit. (Admittedly you can get infinite Safety Bits anyway, but the RNG luck required for that is even worse, and it's not strictly necessary.)

Also, as pointed out by a Japanese comment, this may have been an inspiration for the Kingdom Hearts villain Ansem's infamous guardian (properly called the Dark Figure). Of course, Nomura was the original designer of the Triad in the first place…
