“SeeD... (...A code name, for Balamb Garden's elite mercenary force... SeeD... Combat specialists...) ...Don't you already know?”

—Squall

SeeD (シード, Shīdo^?) is a mercenary force in Final Fantasy VIII, whose operatives graduate from Balamb Garden. SeeD is a mercenary force for hire, conducting missions around the world as battle support and undercover operatives. Their services are requested by governments and civilians; their tasks range from providing military support to protecting civilians to slaying monsters.

Only Balamb Garden trains SeeD cadets, but members from the other Gardens can transfer to Balamb for the field exam. All SeeD are stationed at Balamb. The SeeD specialize in high-level para-magic via the use of Guardian Forces.

SeeD candidates must be between 15 years to 19 years old; at 20, they can no longer apply. They have to pass a written exam, a field exam, and have to be accepted by the headmaster, Cid Kramer.

All students in the Garden training to be SeeD and have yet to graduate are considered SeeD cadets. SeeD field operatives have a ranking system from 1 to 30 (1 being the lowest rank and 30 being the highest). They can increase their ranking by completing written tests that cover a variety of subjects. (More...)

Sprite of the Mystery Egg from Final Fantasy IV. Found in the Tower of Babil, the Mystery Egg takes no action of its own. However, if it is attacked, or is left alone for a period of time, it will hatch into a powerful monster. The only way to avoid this is to kill the egg before it can hatch, as it takes on the HP of whatever monster it will transform into. In the DS release however, the Mystery Egg always has 10,000 HP, so this is quite difficult. The enemies it may hatch into are the Black Lizard, Lamia, Nagaraja and Green Dragon.
