FFXI Mob:Carbuncle  

History

The term Carbuncle has multiple meanings, but only the meanings relevant to the Final Fantasy Carbuncle will be covered. First, in gemology, a carbuncle is a convex, deep-red garnet without facets. Carbuncle also came from European folklore, describing a mythical creature supposedly sighted in the New World by the early Spanish conquistadors. They were described as small creatures, either mammals or birds, however they were always described as having a gem in their forehead.
