My name is Ultima... I am power both ancient and unrivaled... I do not bleed, for I am but strength given form... Feeble creatures of flesh... Your time is nigh!
Ultima Weapon prepares to face the party in Final Fantasy VI.
Ultima Weapon, also known as Atma Weapon or Ultimate Weapon, is a recurring superboss in the Final Fantasy series. A quadrupedal bio-mechanical monster, it's often a weaker version of Omega Weapon but is still a strong enemy in its own right. It is the namesake of the powerful sword, Ultima Weapon.

Ultima Weapon is a byproduct of the creation of Omega Weapon from Omega's hatred of Yevon. He is fought in the Omega Ruins and is the only boss that can be bribed aside from Lord Ochu.
