Final Fantasy VIEdit
In the beginning of the game Valigarmanda is discovered encased in ice by miners in Narshe. The Gestahlian Empire finds out about its existence, and sends Terra, Biggs and Wedge to investigate. Narshe has proclaimed itself neutral in the ongoing conflict between the Empire and the Returners; in this case, they attempt to defend the esper against the Empire when they come to take it. Valigarmanda defeats Biggs and Wedge, and communicates with Terra, releasing her from Imperial control.
Later in the story, after all members of the party have made their way to Narshe, Banon, the leader of the Returners, offers the organization's help in protecting the esper; however, the Elder of Narshe refuses because of the city's declared neutrality. The Empire invades Narshe in their pursuit of the esper, and the Returners help to defend it. After Kefka Palazzo is turned back by the Returners, Valigarmanda reacts with Terra a second time, causing her to transform into an esper and flee.

In the World of Ruin, approaching Valigarmanda causes it to react violently and attack the party. If it is defeated, it will thank the party for freeing it and offer itself up as magicite. Valigarmanda can then be used as an esper.
Valigarmanda as an EsperEdit
Added by CrazyswordsmanValigarmanda's attack is called Tri-Disaster (Tri-Dazer in the original SNES version), which is a Fire/Ice/Lightning three-way elemental attack against all opponents. Its Spell Power is 110 and it is unblockable. It costs 68 MP. Valigarmanda's main function is to teach the upper-level elemental attack spells:
- Firaga X1 (Fire 3 in original SNES version)
- Blizzaga X1 (Ice 3 in original SNES version)
- Thundaga X1 (Bolt 3 in original SNES version)
At level up, it provides a +2 boost to Magic Power.
Final Fantasy XIII-2Edit
Valigarmanda is an answer to one of the possible questions in Captain Cryptic's Confounding Quiz, asking what legendary creature was once found in a block of ice in Gran Pulse. This is a reference to the Final Fantasy VI Valigarmanda.
Final Fantasy: Unlimited AfterEdit
Valigarmanda is also one of Kaze's summons in the sequel of Final Fantasy: Unlimited called Final Fantasy: Unlimited After, and is named Tri-Disaster. The Soil Charge Triad that are needed to summon Tri-Disaster are:
- Burning all to ashes, Fire Red!

- The brilliance that pierces the darkness, Lightning Yellow!
Followed by saying: "Howl! I summon you, TRI-DISASTER!"
