Dahaka is a Gran Pulse fal'Cie who appears in Final Fantasy XIII. It is tasked with searching for Etro's gate from the sky, and it is sighted by Lightning and her allies in Yaschas Massif, where they resolve to follow the fal'Cie to Oerba. Territorial in nature, Dahaka attacks anything that invades its abode in Taejin's Tower. It attacks Lightning and the other l'Cie atop the tower after its tail is removed by the Menhirrim.
