The Gigas Worm, also known as the CREEP, is an enemy in Final Fantasy. It is weak to Fire, so casting Fire is the easy way to defeat this enemy. Gigas Worms appear early in the game, and, although they may prove troublesome to a very low-leveled party, the threat they pose quickly drops as the player's party levels up. They appear in the Chaos Shrine in the present, and outside towns such as Pravoka and Elfheim.
