Template:Sideicon Template:FFVIII Enemy Fastitocalon-F is an enemy from Final Fantasy VIII. It's a fiery red fish that often appears in groups of three. The "F" signifies "fake".

Fastitocalon-F, a smaller version of Fastitocalon, is concealed by sand at the beginning of the battle allowing only its fin to show. During this stage, its Spirit and Vitality are greatly enhanced. After receiving damage it leaps into the air and is no longer reachable by Quake. Thunder remains useful. The Fastitocalon-F is the first significant source of AP in the beginning of the game.

When targeted, the enemy is known simply as the Fastitocalon. The name Fastitocalon-F is the name of its Triple Triad card to distinguish it from the larger version of Fastitocalon.
