Template:Sideicon Template:FFVIII Enemy Tonberry King is an optional boss in Final Fantasy VIII. He is encountered by defeating a high number of Tonberry enemies in the Centra Ruins. After enough Tonberries have been defeated, the Tonberry King appears to avenge them. Upon the Tonberry King's defeat, the player is granted the junctionable Guardian Force, Tonberry.
How to find
The number of Tonberries the player needs to defeat to engage the Tonberry King is twenty to fifty. If the player successfully cards a Tonberry, it does not count as defeating it.
The player may leave the area and save the game while in the process of killing the required number of Tonberries. Killing them consecutively is not required.
Stats

Battle
"It's Sharp!" is a single-target attack using the equation of a target's enemy kills multiplied by 30. "Junk" is a counterattack made after every fifth attack the party deals against Tonberry King that sends items falling down on the party for a random amount of damage. The items are pot, a kettle, a bottle of wine, cups, soccer ball, and even a television. On top of these, Tonberry King uses a regular physical attack.
One might want to wait till the party's average level exceeds 30 before engaging Tonberry King, as he is one of the rare enemies to have Full-life in his Draw list.

Trivia
- Despite being roughly ten times larger than an ordinary Tonberry, Tonberry King uses the same sized knife and lantern as his subjects.
- Tonberry King's appearance depends on the "Battle Scene", being triggered in Scenes 0236 and 0237, both played at Centra Ruins and feature a single Tonberry as an enemy. Once the Tonberry dies, the King may appear if the player has killed enough Tonberries: in 0236 one must have killed at least 20 Tonberries, and in 0237, one must have killed at least 50. Meeting this minimum threshold, and being in the right Scene, triggers the King's appearance every time.
- Tonberry King is the final boss of the Wanderer's Palace in Final Fantasy XIV, alluding to the boss in Final Fantasy VIII.
