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 some games there is a species of Sahagin that lives in the desert.

Sahagin are a beast tribe from La Noscea, and are constantly fighting against Limsa Lominsa, attacking ships or citizens wandering outside the city state. Their Primal is Leviathan, sometimes summoned to attack Lominsan ships, and their stronghold is the Sapsa Spawning Grounds in Western La Noscea.
They are known to be allied with Travanchet and pirate groups from Mistbeard Cove. Among the most notorious of their allies are the Serpent Reavers, pirates who are have been tempered (or "drowned") by Leviathan himself.
Although the Sahagin have little love for the other races of Eorzea, not all desire conflict. Among those, Clutchfather Novv believes continual warring against Limsa Lominsa in the wake of the Calamity is suicidal.
