If 3 is not Tiamat, which do you place as Tiamat? Pay her a visit in Azys Lla, I'm almost 100% certain 3 is Tiamat. The only other one with a remotely similar face is 6, but 3 is really a dead ringer for Tiamat... Plus 3 is green, Tiamat should* be green.

Between 4, 6, 7 and 8 I'm also fairly certain 4 is Bahamut. If you strip away the Allagan augmentations, he seems to have only horns going back along his head, possibly similar to 4 (it's a weird angle). We can rule out 7, since it has 4 claws, where as Bahamut has/had 3. Can't see much of 8, but that face is waaay off so lets just rule him out. That leaves 4 and 6, and given 6 seems to have a long neck I'd go for 4, since Bahamut, at least the Primal version, has a stubby little neck. 6 at least has horns going back, but they seem too far off his neck to be Bahamut, too.

*Incarnations where she hasn't been green or associated with wind annoy me; Why is she a fire dragon in XI?! She was originally the Fiend of Wind ffs! Missing heads I can forgive, but associating her with Fire irks me to no end... They even did it here... We talk to here and regain the Fire Crystal for our Blessing of Light! This annoys me far more than it should... At least, based on this artwork, she's meant to be green...

...? I never said Tiamat isn't 3, it's obvious that it's her. Unless you saw my post before I corrected my typo.

There is no way 4 is Bahamut. It looks nothing like its primal incarnation, or even any other FF version of Bahamut we've seen to date. The horns don't resemble his either; they don't even look particularly horn-like, which would better match Ratatoskr's image given her namesake (see my other post.) 4 also has quite a docile, gentle face in comparison to the others, that suits more what we've heard of Ratatoskr than Bahamut.

I think Bahamut's "stubbiness" and other minor differences were a result of his "resurrection" - I don't think the original Bahamut looked like that, as all the other dragons are elongated and serpentine like Midgardsormr.
