Final Fantasy Carbuncle may actually stem from a supposed Latin American mythical creature with a ruby on its forehead, as described in Jorge Luis Borges's Manual de Zoología Fantástica, rather than just the gem itself.

Well this hilarious bit of copyright infringement has shown us the popularity of carbuncle mounts, take note yoshi! Good lord can you imagine a highland hyur riding a carbuncle around- fantastic.

or a bulky Roegadyn >.> Those guys are so fat.

Carbuncle/Carbunckle is a classic fantasy creature. He also appears in older FFs, he was in V and VI and probably others, as well as other RPGs like Magic story/puyo, etc. He's a small creature with a ruby-like gem on its forehead.

Still, that model is a blatant ripoff, no doubt there. Same for the birds. ;)
