Great video! As an addendum, they have been since added to Chocobo GP as a playable character, Ultros riding on top of Typhon. Their special attack is dropping an anchor on everyone to slow them down.

great video and very informative

[@GCJACK83]

FF12 isn't the only game which has a different Ultros/Orthrus representation. FF11 features Orthrus as a Cerberus-type monster that serves as the area boss of Abyssea-Altepa Desert.
