Sahagin

From Final Fantasy Wiki

The Sahagin (サハギン Sahagin) is a recurring enemy from the series. It appears in most games, and often has stronger counterparts. The Sahagin is usually portrayed as a fish that walks on land, though in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX, they appear as spear-carrying turtles who can hide in their shells to nullify physical damage. While they are usually aquatic, in Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VII, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles there is a species of Sahagin that lives in the desert.
