A species of planetary beasts native to The Shin Ra Corp. WEAPOMs are inspired by the beings of the same name present in the wikipedia:Final Fantasy series. The article about the beings in the game can be found here: Wikipedia:Weapon (Final Fantasy). Some other nations might also have WEAPONS.

Emerald Weapon

Emerald Weapon's only appearance is in the international edition of Final Fantasy VII. It can be found at he bottom of the ocean by using the submarine. For more information on Emerald Weapon in Final Fantasy 7, see Wikipedia:Emerald Weapon.

Ruby Weapon

Just like Emerald, Ruby Weapon's only appearance is in the international edition of Final Fantasy VII. It can be found in the deserts surrounding Gold Saucer. For more information on Ruby Weapon in Final Fantasy 7, see Wikipedia:Ruby Weapon.

NS Appearances:

Eden-IV

On Eden-IV, Ruby Weapon rampaged the San'Dia continent after Xenouheartz had infected the planet.

Omega Weapon

Omega Weapon, appearing first in Final Fantasy V is known to exist in the timeline of SAGA-6. A huge being, though called only "Omega", not Omega Weapon, floating through space, carrying on it's back the megastructure Castle Jestro. Omega is said to be the protector of Rift Omega, an opponent so strong that not even the four legendary heroes could defeat it, thus it is responsible for the fact that Rift Omega and Wonderland were not already merged at that time. Omega is the stongest being in the World of SAGA-6, by far stronger than Jestro, even after he became a god. Omega consisted of a nearly unbreakable shell of Adamantium, which hid a body with three heads: The heads of the Ultimate Weapons Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz it had absorbed before. Luna and her companions managed to defeat Omega by waiting for the shell to open


OMEGA's power

  • As said above, Omega's shell is almost unbreakable: Even meteor impacts on the gigantic being fo very little damage. Taking Omega's size into account, the shell of the being could be described as the hardened surface of a little moon. While a normal stellar body is easily damaged by meteors and the like, imagine a shell of the size and thickness of a planet's outer shell, but made not from soil but hardened Adamantium armor plates.
  • Omega - Omega's most powerful ability is called just like the entity itself - Omega. Originally a power of the goddess Omegami, she gave this power to Omega to guard Omega Rift. One can even say that the being Omega is the incarnation of the Omega power.

The Omega power is a sort of radiation that teleports any matter or energy it hits to the end of time. OOCly, this has been inspired by the Omega powers of Darkseid from the Marvel Universe. The being uses this Omega powers as long as facing more than one opponent. It attempts to teleport anyone except for one person to the end of time if confronted with an army. It appears like Omega can only be used while the being's shell is closed.


There are also some unusual types, which cannot be found in Final Fantasy:

Iron Weapon

Appears on Eden-IV, guarding the Sourcerer's Vault. It appears like an iron sphinx. There are also beings called Iron Guards. In SAGA-6, Propeller Island's Iron Curtain is guarded by exactly the same being. Since, apparently, in all appearances Iron Weapon makes, it has been artificially constructed by to serve as a weapon or means of defense, it should propably be classified as Hardware, not Species, but then again, if an autonomous being is created, where do you draw the line?

Golden Weapon

On Eden-IV, there is also a creature called "Arma D'Oro", a being that develops from an high-level Armadrillo. Arma D'Oro, transalted, means "Weapon Of Gold", thus "Golden Weapon". A huge, nuke-carrying, six-legged mech called "Golden Gear" also appears in Cybergoddess, propably inspired by the Metal Gears from Metal Gear Solid. It is later referred to as the "Golden Weapon". As with Iron Weapon, this should propably be considered Hardware.
