The following is a list of non-sentient creatures from the Final Fantasy
series and the titles in which they appear. For a list of sentient races and beings, see the Races of Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy (Japanese: ファイナルファンタジー Fainaru Fantajii) is a popular series of role-playing games produced by Square Enix (originally Square Co., Ltd.). Monsters and creatures are common enemies within the games as antagonists to the playable characters, with usually no relevance to the storyline.

Ochu

The Ochu is the Final Fantasy
reference to the Otyugh
(also known as Gulguthra) which is a fictional subterranean monster. Their described appearance is having huge, bloated bodies covered with a rock-like skin that is brownish gray in color, which is in turn covered with dung. They stand on three thick legs that give them slow ground movement but enable them to pivot quickly. They have three eyes on a leaf-like stalk that moves quickly from side to side, enabling them to scan a large area.
Ochu has appeared in the following games:

Final Fantasy as Ochu/Ocho
Final Fantasy VII as Ho-Chu
Final Fantasy VIII through Final Fantasy X/X-2, Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles as Ochu

Oglop

Appearing only in Final Fantasy IX, the Oglop is a small buglike creature. For reasons not revealed to the player, most denizens of the game's world find Oglops extraordinarily annoying and are depicted as apparently somewhat repulsive to certain people (similar to how many are disgusted my creatures such as worms). They were seen first as part of Tantalus' plot to kidnap the princess. Later on, Regent Cid takes the form of an oglop due to a curse from his wife, Hilda.

Orc

Orcs are common fantasy creatures revived by J.R.R. Tolkien's in his fictional works depicted the world of Middle-earth. Orcs are featured in Final Fantasy XI as a race of Beastmen.

Within the realm of Vana'diel lust for combat and conquest drives most of the Orcs to join the ranks of their Imperial Army. All Orcs--male and female--are required to participate in years of military training, and even their social structure is based on military ranks.

Orcs have tribal hierarchy based on strength; those who prove most formidable in battle are higher in the pecking-order; stronger orcs even employ means (such as attaching heavy weights to well-water buckets) to deny those weaker than themselves access to common resources.

From outward appearances, their cultural belief systems seem based in something like shamanism; magic-users, for instance, cover their heads with a hood which prevents the visual senses from being used, presumably in order to heighten their other senses.
While their technology appears rudimentary (most Orcish armor is evidently fashioned from leather, bone, and wood), they do employ metal weapons where available.

Quadav

The Quadav are a race of turtle-like bipeds that inhabit certain swampy regions, as well as subterranean caverns, on the continent of Quon in Vana'diel, the world in which Final Fantasy XI takes place. The Quadav are one of the races of Beastmen depicted in the game.

Apparently closely tied to the earth in which they work and live, the Quadav identify themselves individually and culturally with the materials with which they work.

As their shells thicken with age, the titles given to individual Quadav change. Within their strict caste system, those chosen to serve in the Elite Guard are given titles portraying hard and precious metals, while those chosen to be magicians are given titles taken from precious gems.

The Quadav have long possessed an understanding of metallurgical technology, and have adapted their skills in metalworking to even create fire-fueled incubators with pipes to carry warm air into the ground to warm the damp caves where their eggs are kept.
