Teioh (トウホウフハイ, Tōhō Fuhai?), also known as Hyperion, is a black chocobo in the Final Fantasy series.
Appearances
Final Fantasy VII
Template:Sideicon Teioh is the Chocobo belonging to the jockey Joe. His stats depend on the player's chocobo, always being greater, and may surpass the maximum the player can get. Teioh's speed will always be the player's speed +10%, and his stamina will always be the player's stamina +25%. Teioh appears in the chocobo races at Gold Saucer when the player is racing with their own chocobo, appearing randomly in classes B, A and S; the higher the rank the more likely it is that Joe and Teioh will make an appearance. Because black and gold chocobos are immune to slow motion part of a chocobo race, racing Teioh and Joe without using a black or gold chocobo will give Joe and Teioh a slight advantage. Defeating Teioh without a green, black, or gold chocobo is generally impossible.
Teioh was originally intended to be named "Hyperion", but it contained too many letters for the character limit.

Etymology
The word teioh is Japanese for "emperor" or "sovereign".
Its full English name is Hyperion. Hyperion was one of the twelve Titans of Ancient Greece, the sons and daughters of Gaia and Ouranos, which were later supplanted by the Olympians. He was the brother of Cronus. He was also the lord of light, and the Titan of the east.
Its Japanese name is "トウホウフハイ" and its Kanji is "東方不敗". The name derives from a character of the same name (東方不敗; トウホウフハイ, Tōhō Fuhai; Dongfang Bubai?, lit. Invincible East) in the Chinese wuxia novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer by Jin Yong. He is one of the main antagonists and the most powerful character in the novel.
