Actually, Bahamut is a giant fish. According to some mythology (I don't know, greek?), the world is being held up by an angel standing on a ruby mountain. The mountain lies on top of a bull, which is Kujata (FF7 summon), with four thousand various body parts, which in turn stands on a fish which swims through the darkness, and that fish is Bahamut. I, myself, don't see the transition from giant space fish to king of dragons, but that's Square for you.

Bahamut is an enormous fish that resides in a vast sea. He supports a huge bull named Kujuta who has four thousand eyes, and the same number of ears, noses, mouths, tongues and feet. Between every one of each is a distance of five hundred years' journey. Kujuta supports on him a rock of ruby, atop which stands an angel who supports the seven earths.

Kujata and Bahamut are basically the Islamic equivalents of Christianity's Behemoth and Leviathan.

Bahamut DOES mean king of dragons in another mythology,but both the mythologies can be accepted though.

The only "mythology" in which Bahamut is the king of dragons is that of Dungeons & Dragons. The first Final Fantasy game ripped off a ridiculous amount of monsters from D&D, and Bahamut was no different.

That's really too bad, though. I'd love for a giant fish to use Gigaflare :P

Laguna means "lagoon" in Spanish. That's the best I can come up with.

Mōguri, the Japanese name of Moogles, is a portmanteau of the words mogura (mole) and koumori (bat). This is fitting as moogles tend to have small eyes and red/purple wings.

THE JACKEL

Kuja = God of Mars = God of War

Yuna means a type of pink hybiscus (sp) flower (that is on her skirt in X)

The English word "behemoth" is actually derived from the Arabic word "Bahamut"
