50 Video Game Characters: 20

"Oh, all right, Uncle Ulty REALLY want you to paint his portrait!"



20. Ultros (Final Fantasy VI)

Kefka may be a jester, but Ultros is the only real clown in FF6. I mean look at him. He is a giant purple octopus. And he can talk.

Ultros pops up from time to time in the game as a recurring boss, showing up to chew the ear off the heroes, both figuratively and literally as Ultros is very carnivorous and desires the taste of human taste. As well as a different kind of flesh, since he often has his eyes on the ladies in the party.

It's not often a character like him appears in a Final Fantasy game. As a comic character who provides a light comic air to his parts of the game, but as a boss, he's not to be take lightly. Fierce, funny, freakish. That's Uncle Ulty.

Best moment: His final appearance at the Coliseum, acting as receptionist. He's got debts to pay, just like the rest of us.
