Abadon is a boss in Final Fantasy VIII. It is fought in the Great Salt Lake, the large lake found outside of Esthar. This boss is actually undead and can be treated as a normal zombie monster (i.e. he can be damaged by restorative actions). He is also fought while Edea is in the party, and it is essentially the only chance that the player has to see Edea's power against a formidable enemy.

[edit] Story
The Abadon has no real significance to the story. In the game, it seemingly jumps up from a canyon and instantly fights the party. If anything, it can be considered a guardian of the city of Esthar.
[edit] Battle
Abadon is an Undead monster, meaning Holy and Fire-elemental attacks will hurt it greatly. Its Lick will cause damage plus inflict Curse status. When Abadon stands up, its Vitality and Spirit will increase. It will also use Confuse at this stage. Squall will also point out:
'An undead monster...'
'Use recovery-related magic and items.'
Thus, using healing spells and buffs will damage it. Also, if Abadon's HP is or below 9,999, using an Elixir, Megalixir, X-Potion, or Recover on it will end the battle instantly.
