Griever

Honestly, tho, wtf was even the deal with Griever? "That pendant that has been completely inconsequential to the game? Yeah, let's turn it into a big monster boss."

It was the name of the Lion on Squalls Ring, etching on Squall's Gunblade, and on his Gunblade case. In the final fight Ultemicia looked into Squall's mind and made it real as her GF. Maybe she thought Squall wouldn't be able to kill something he loved or maybe she thought something from the person that beat her would be strong enough to beat them. But it looked really cool.

I agree. But if Ultimecia was Rinoa it would make sense for her to summon Squall's spirit animal and that plot point would serve the purpose of making that connection. But I won't open that can of worms here, I don't think Griever being summoned means much lol

He still looks cool though, and I wouldn't mind seeing him as a trial.
