Scarmiglione
Originally known as Milon, Scarmiglione is a boss and one of Golbez's Archfiends, titled the Blighted Despot. He speaks with a hiss, drawing out the letter s.
Scarmiglione first appears in the Tower of Zot, where Golbez tells him that Cecil Harvey is climbing Mount Ordeals with the intention of becoming a Paladin. Golbez sends him to kill Cecil while he is still is a Dark Knight, because Cecil is powerless against the undead. When he arrives to Mount Ordeals, Scarmiglione makes hissing noises. Porom, a member of Cecil's party, blames them on her twin brother Palom, who denies making them.
Tellah, another member of Cecil's party, senses something evil in the air. Scarmiglione attacks the party with the help of his four Revenants. After Cecil's party defeats Scarmiglione, he returns from the dead and attacks the party again, this time from behind and in his true form. Cecil's party defeats him a second time, and he falls off the ledge.
The other three fiends, especially Cagnazzo, have a low opinion of Scarmiglione, with Cagnazzo stating Scarmiglione was "a weakling that never deserved to be one of the four fiends."
Scarmiglione makes an appearance with the other three Archfiends (Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, and Rubicante) in the Giant of Babil, after being revived by Zemus, but the four are again defeated.
Scarmiglione mentions that "death brings about [his] true power," which may imply he can only take his true form if he dies.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Template:Sideicon
Scarmiglione returns as a boss. During the battle he begs to be killed before his soul is crushed, and afterwards thanks the party as one of the spirits of the land. If Golbez is in the party, Scarmiglione will thank him for accepting him for what he was despite being hideous and unworthy. The Stardust Rod is awarded after his defeat.

Scarmiglione being summoned.
Scarmiglione appears as a summon as a counter to an opponent's summoning, where Scarmiglione resets the opponent's Bravery points back to 0, as its Final Fantasy IV artwork appears. Scarmiglione can be obtained on the second stage of the Shade Impulse I storyline.
Like the rest of the Archfiends, Scarmiglione seems to act as a "counter" version of one of the original Final Fantasy Four Fiends, specifically Lich. Lich's Earth Arcana and Scarmiglione's Curse both reduce the opponent to 0 Brave. Lich and Scarmiglione are each the first "fiend" to be fought in their respective games. Plus, they are both undead.
There is also a weapon bearing his name: Scarmiglione's Fang.

Once in battle his undead minions prove to be immune to Cecil's dark sword, but the aspiring paladin's companions Palom and Tellah vanquish the Archfiend with their magic.

Scarmiglione originally wore a mage's robe which covered his head and granted him his magical powers, but rose once again as a decomposing body upon losing his life and becoming part of the undead.

Non-Final Fantasy guest appearances
Hanjuku Hero: Aa, Sekaiyo Hanjukunare...!
A parody of Scarmiglione from Final Fantasy IV makes an appearance in the 4th chapter of the game along with the other Archfiends. The chapter number they appear in alludes to the number 4, their game's origin. The seasons have been stolen, and by defeating the Four Archfiends will return the seasons. They each have a castle, and are located on the four corners of the map. Sprimiglione (スプリミリョーネ, Supurimiryōne?), the Fiend of Spring is found in the northeast castle.
Lord of Vermilion
Scarmiglione is a card in Lord of Vermilion II along with other characters from Final Fantasy IV, as a special cross promotion. Scarmiglione also appears as a card in Lord of Vermilion Arena.
Guardian Cross

Etymology
Scarmiglione is a demon in the Inferno of Dante's Divine Comedy. He is one of the 12 Malebranche ("Evil Claws") who guard Bolgia Five of the eighth circle of Hell, Malebolge. Vulgar and quarrelsome, their duty is to force the corrupt politicians to stay under the surface of a boiling lake of pitch.
His name means "Trouble Maker".
"Milon" was likely an attempt to compress the character's name coherently into fewer than eight characters, as the SNES version had an eight-character limit for enemy names. "Milon" was likely derived from the last three kana syllables of the character's name in Japanese, ミリョーネ, with the "e" being dropped.
Trivia
- Much like in the original Final Fantasy, the fiend of Earth is undead.
- Scarmiglione is the only fiend to fight Cecil as a Dark Knight.
- Scarmiglione is the only fiend fought twice in a row. He is also the only fiend whose two forms are different enemies.
- Scarmiglione is the only fiend not to share his voice actor with another character.
- An Undying from Final Fantasy XIII, Zenobia, bears physical resemblance to Scarmiglione with its arms and tentacles. Zenobia is fought as a boss in Final Fantasy XIII-2 due to a paradox, even though she died in the first game, similarly to Scarmiglione in The After Years.
