| Description | An impeccably-armoured and impressively massive monster who may look mean, but has a huge heart as well. Once lived in a lovely palace with his equally lovely daughter, but woke one day to find himself sealed away in a grotto. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hammibal's main weakness lies in his inability to cast Disruptive Wave, a spell usable by nearly every other high-level boss in the game. This allows the party to utilize the full benefits of stat-boosting spells without fear of having the effects removed by the boss. It is also noteworthy that, unlike the similar Goreham-Hogg, Hammibal cannot score a critical hit, severely reducing the danger he poses.
Etymology[edit]
"Hammibal" is a pun on "ham" and "Hannibal" (a name associated with, among others, a character in the A-Team TV series and a Carthaginian general).
