'''Bahamut ZERO''' ({{ja|バハムート零式|Bahamūto Reishiki}}, ''Bahamut Type-0'') is a summon from the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:Summon Bahamut ZERO FF7.gif|thumb|Bahamut ZERO in ''Final Fantasy VII'']]
[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Bahamut Bahamut], as well as his various versions, is a commonly appearing summon in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. His first appearance was in the very first ''Final Fantasy'', where he optionally granted the Warriors of Light (the playable characters) a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Class class] upgrade in exchange for a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Rat_Tail rat tail] found in the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Castle_of_Ordeals Castle of Ordeals].

[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Bahamut_ZERO_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Bahamut ZERO] was introduced in ''Final Fantasy VII'' as a  stronger form of the traditional Bahamut summon. His Materia can be obtained at the planetarium in Cosmo Canyon when the player touches the blue Huge Materia, after having obtained both Bahamut and Neo Bahamut. If the player did not obtain the blue Huge Materia, Bahamut ZERO can later be dug up from Bone Village. Obtaining the blue Huge Materia but not having the Bahamut and Neo Bahamut Materia will make Bahamut ZERO completely unobtainable.

With ''Final Fantasy III'' introducing the Summon ability, Bahamut became available as the most powerful summon-able monster. His signature attack is [[Flare / Megaflare / Gigaflare|Mega Flare]], which deals heavy non-elemental damage to all targets. ''Final Fantasy VII'' introduced two new Bahamut variants, [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Neo_Bahamut Neo Bahamut] and Bahamut ZERO, which use even more powerful attacks named [[Flare / Megaflare / Gigaflare|Giga Flare]] and Tera Flare respectively.

===As a stage element===
Bahamut ZERO appears as one of the summons on [[Midgar]]. When it appears, it attacks with Tera Flare, a flare that destroys the background and creates a continuously damaging pillar of light on the stage.

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a stage element===
Bahamut ZERO reprises its role as a summon on [[Midgar]], with no changes to how it functions.

===As a spirit===
Despite being featured prominently on Midgar, Bahamut ZERO did not receive a spirit in the base game of ''Ultimate''. With the release of [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|Challenger Pack 8]], which focused on elements from ''Final Fantasy VII'', it would be featured as the Legend-class spirit on {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s [[Spirit Board]]. Unlike the other summons featured as spirits, which use their artwork from ''Final Fantasy VII Remake'' (in which he did not appear in that form), Bahamut ZERO uses its appearance from the Midgar stage for its own spirit. The Spirit Battle occurs on Midgar against a giant {{SSBU|Ridley}} with his color scheme based off [[Meta Ridley]]. Ridley is able to suddenly gain his [[Final Smash]], [[Plasma Scream]], after sustaining high damage, with the move acting as a direct reference to Tera Flare. Like other Legend-class spirits featured on the DLC fighters' Spirit Boards, Bahamut ZERO's spirit gives a unique ability, in this case an increase to Final Smash power.
