Garuda (Summon)
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Garuda (ガルーダ Garūda) appears in Final Fantasy XI as one of the six prime avatars. Garuda is the avatar who represents wind in the game. She can be acquired from the Cloister of Gales at Cape Terrigan. She can cast a number of Air-based spells and abilities in addition to using her claws to physically damage enemies. Perhaps one of her more commonly used abilities is Aerial Armor, which gives every member of the party the effect of Blink, or Hastega which grants haste to every member of the party and is exclusively available to Garuda, but she also does have limited abilities which allow her to heal party members. Garuda is also highly respected for her Predator Claws attack, a devastatingly powerful strike that is often the Summoner's staple attack for notorious monster fights.
