Bahamut is named after the summon, [[w:c:finalfantasy:Bahamut|Bahamut]], one of the ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (Series)|Final Fantasy]]'' series most famous summons. A great and powerful dragon appearing in nearly all of the main ''Final Fantasy'' games, Bahamut usually appears as a plot device. His signature attack, ''Mega Flare'', appears in the form of an extremely powerful [[Fire]]-based [[Sleight]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''.

Bahamut (Arabic بهموت ''Bahamūt'') originated as an enormous fish in ancient pre-Islamic Arabian mythology. Upon Bahamut's back stands a bull with four thousand eyes, ears, noses, mouths, tongues and feet called "Kujuta" (also spelled "Kuyutha"). Between each of these is a distance of a 500-year journey. On the back of Kujuta is a mountain of ruby. Atop this mountain is an angel who carries six hells, earth, and seven heavens on its shoulders.
Another version of the Arabic story is that Bahamut is indeed a dragon and he stands on a whale called "Liwash".
