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.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy[]
Typhon appears in the Dawn of Souls, Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary, iOS and Windows Phone releases 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 VI[]
In its first appearance, Typhon debuts when the party attacks the Floating Continent, backing up Ultros when he is defeated. Typhon's Snort blows the party off the Blackjack and into a battle with Air Force.
After the cataclysm, 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 and the item that was bet is returned to the player.
Final Fantasy VII[]
Typhon (known as Typoon in the PlayStation release) is a summon. His Summon Materia is located in the Ancient Forest treetops. Typhon's special attack, Disintegration (天地崩壊, Tenchi Hōkai?), costs 160 MP, and inflicts Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Earth-elemental damage on all enemies, ignoring defense but missing flying enemies. Its spell power is equal to 6.875x the base magic damage.

Typhon artwork.
Typhon appears in the Hildibrand Manderville sidequests for patch 2.4 as a monster kept in Master Fygreis's Coliseum. Due to his allergy to the scent of uncooked truffles, Typhon was used by Ultros to make it seem Avia can use Tempest Blade. Once the deception of Avia's Tempest Blade is exposed, Ultros convinces Dour Meadow to let Typhon and himself fight the adventurer in the Dragon's Neck arena. After losing, Typhon is present at the award ceremony before being forced to sneeze up a strong wind by the thief of many faces that sends Ultros and Gilgamesh flying.
Typhon also appears in Manderville Gold Saucer in the "Any Way the Wind Blows" game, and is available as a mount via the Typhon Horn for 750,000 MGP.

Etymology and origin[]
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.
Typhon is also a character in Book of the New Sun, a fantasy series written by Gene Wolfe, where he is the head of a mad king of old that has been surgically grafted to a surrogate host. Yoshitaka Amano provided the cover art for the Japanese translation of the books.
A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean between 180° and 100°E. This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.
