History in the FF Series

Kujata (FFVII [JP]), Kjata (FFVII [EN])

Kujata was one of the few Multi-Elemental Summons in the Final Fantasy series. Replacing Valigarmander/Tritoch from FFVI, Kujata appeared in Final Fantasy VII as a gigantic Summon associated with 4 elements: Fire, Ice, Thunder, and Earth. Kujata appeared as a gigantic brown bull with 8 orange eyes, 5 giant sets of black horns, 2 tails, and a giant dark red mane of hair down its back. He had a giant bluish metal nose ring which had several smaller golden rings on it. Kujata towered over the battlefield. Its appearance resembled a cross between a boar and a bull because its facial structure resembled that of a boar, and had two tusks rising from the lower jaw. It would attack in the sequence of Lightning, Ice, Fire, and Earth. Purple lightning would crackle around the enemy. Then the lightning would transform into ice crystals which condensed on the enemy. The ice would then transform into fireballs that exploded in a dome of energy. Finally, Kujata would appear, standing on his hind legs and pounding his front two legs into the ground, sending seismic waves through the ground, producing a visible wave effect traveling through the land.

• In FFVII, the red Materia Kujata was obtained in the Sleeping Forest located on the Northern Continent. The Kujata Materia had a habit of appearing briefly at one location, then disappearing and reappearing at another location.

Historical Background

Kujata (Kujuta, Kuyūthāʼ (Arabic: كيوثاء)) was a giant bull in Arabic and Medieval Islamic cosmology. It was a giant bull with 4000 eyes, 4000 ears, and 4000 feet which rode atop a giant fish, Bahamut. Kujata was so large, to walk between one eye and another eye would take 500 years. While there are some variations, this is the cosmology seen in Arabic and medieval Islamic belief: In a fathomless sea swims Bahamut. On his back is the bull Kujata. On Kujata's back is a ruby mountain (or giant rock of ruby) which has the Seven Earths on it (seventh is the bottom, first is the top. They represent, from 7th to 1st: the world inhabited by Iblis and other fallen angels, world inhabited by the scorpions of hell, world inhabited by the serpents of hell, world filled with the sulfur of hell, world filled with the stones of hell, world filled with the wind of suffocation, and then the world populated by humans, plants, animals, and genii). On top of the Seven Earths are the Seven Heavens.
