Dark Kain is an enemy in Final Fantasy IV Advance and Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection. He is fought in Kain's Trial at the Lunar Ruins. He is only present in the battle for a couple turns before he uses Jump to transform into Lunar Bahamut. Changing Kain's name has no bearing on Dark Kain's name.

Battle[]
In the Japanese and North American Game Boy Advance versions of Final Fantasy IV, Dark Kain cannot be killed by normal means, but a Tornado from Abel's Lance can do the trick, although this triggers a glitch where the player does not receive the Grimoire LB for defeating Lunar Bahamut, thus preventing them from accessing Kain's Trial on subsequent trips through the ruins (completing a trial earns the player a summon Grimoire for the boss defeated and the trial cannot be entered again until that Grimoire is used). This, however, was fixed in the European Game Boy Advance version as well as in all PlayStation Portable versions, in which the player does receive the Grimoire LB for defeating Dark Kain before he transforms into Lunar Bahamut.
Etymology[]
Cain was the brother of Abel in the Tanakh/Old Testament book of Genesis. Cain became the first murderer by killing his brother out of jealousy stemming from God choosing Abel's gift over that of Cain.
