Typhon (テュポーン, Tyupōn?), also known as Typhoon or Chupon, is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series. He is Ultros's partner and also appears as a summon. Typhon appears as a large purple and pink monster with a large mouth and a second face on his rear end. Typhon's trademark attack is Snort, which can either kill a party member instantly or remove them from battle.

Final FantasyEdit
- Main article: Typhon (Final Fantasy)
Typhon appears in the Dawn of Souls, Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary and iOS releases of the original Final Fantasy as an optional boss in Whisperwind Cove, appearing along with Orthros, Phantom Train and Death Gaze. Typhon can use Snort to instantly kill a party member, and drops a Genji Helm upon defeat.
Final Fantasy VIEdit
- Main article: Typhon (Final Fantasy VI)
In its first appearance, Typhon debuts when the party attacks the Floating Continent, backing up Ultros when he is defeated. Typhon's Snort eventually blows the party off the Blackjack and into a battle with Air Force.
After the end of the world, Ultros is hired as a receptionist at Dragon's Neck Coliseum, and Typhon fights in the arena on his behalf to help him. If the player bets an item of insufficient rarity or value, Typhon will put up an Elixir and battle the player, using Snort on his first turn to end the battle instantly. Note that having this happen does NOT mean the player "loses" in the traditional sense; rather, the item that was bet is returned to the player as though nothing happened.
Final Fantasy VIIEdit
- For the summon sequence, click here.
Typhon, known as Typhoon in the PlayStation release, is a summon in Final Fantasy VII. His Summon Materia is located in the Ancient Forest.

Typhon's spell power is equal to 6.875x the base magic damage.

EtymologyEdit
Typhon (Τυφῶν Tūphôn) is a god in Greek mythology, the son of Gaia and Tartarus, and was married to Echidna, mother of all monsters. He tried to kill Zeus and replace him as the king of gods, but failed, and was imprisoned under Mt. Etna, a volcano in Sicily which violent eruptions are said to be caused by Typhon himself. He was a monster with a hundred serpent heads, and was able to breathe fire. He was also father to Cerberus.
