Rubicante is the leader and strongest member of the Four Lords of the Elements. The ability to create and manipulate fire with his own hands makes him a worthy opponent, and his Cloak of Flames absorbs even Ice element attacks, unless it is open, revealing his legs. Rubicante is most known for his Glare attack, which deals massive fire damage to one character, likely exceeding the max HP value of characters at that stage of the game, being somewhat of a cheap move. Working with Dr. Lugae to raise the Giant of Babel, he is the archenemy of Edge. Cecil and Edge later defeat Rubicante in the Tower of Babel and the Giant of Babel. Unlike the other Lords, he is very honorable and even heals Cecil's party before fighting them; This is shown to not be out of pride, as he advises Edge to not let his anger get the best of him, as it will merely blind him. He did not authorize Lugae to transform Edge's parents into monsters, and apologizes to Edge for the deed before they battle. Cecil must face him again within the Giant of Babel, fortunately his cloak is open more often this time around. Also appears in Dawn of Souls in the final level of Hellfire Chasm.

Barbariccia (is the only female member of the Four Elemental Lords. The Lord (or Lady) of Wind, Barbariccia can transform herself into an almost indestructible tornado. Only Dragoons are able to break this tornado form of Barbariccia by jumping on her - ironic, as she appears to have an affinity for Kain. In the Japanese version of the game, she is shown unclothed, this was changed when the game was brought stateside. Though Cecil and the party first defeat Barbariccia in the Tower of Zot, they later fight her in the Giant of Babel, where it is somehow possible to damage her in her tornado. In both battles, Barbariccia is able to petrify the party and reduce them to near death with tornado spells. She also appears as an optional boss in Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls (GBA) on the final level of Hellfire Chasm. The Magus Sisters are shown to be under her command, as well.

Scarmiglione (is the Elemental Lord of Earth who first meets Cecil on Mt. Ordeals when the Dark Knight is on his quest to become a Paladin. Scarmiglione first appears as a small cloaked figure who does nothing more than cast a low-level lightning spell. Though Cecil thinks that he has defeated Scarmiglione and his zombie minions, the Earth Lord soon transforms into a hunched, zombie-like beast, attacking the group from behind and using poison gas and brute strength. Even though Cecil and his allies believe that Scarmiglione had been destroyed as he fell off a bridge at the summit of Mt. Ordeals, he faces the Lord once again in the Giant of Babel. Both of his forms appear in Dawn of Souls on the fifth level of Hellfire Chasm.

One of the Four Lords of the Elements, Cagnazzo has power over water; he can defend himself by withdrawing into his shell and by raising a barrier of water, and attacks with tidal waves. Hired by Golbez and Zemus, Cagnazzo killed King Baron and impersonated him. It was in fact Cagnazzo that ordered Cecil to steal the Water Crystal from Mysidia and bomb the village of Mist, not the king. The initial battle with Cagnazzo is fought in the throne room of Baron. The heroes seem to defeat Cagnazzo, but it appears he still had the ability to cling to the world for a tiny bit longer. As the party exited the throne room, it became apparent that the small hallway between the throne room and the main area of the castle had been trapped by Cagnazzo. He locked the doors and began to force the walls shut. Palom and Porom turned themselves to stone to prevent the rest of the party from being killed. He later joins the other Lords in a final battle against Cecil and his friends in the Giant of Babel. Also appears in Dawn of Souls on the Fifth Level of Hellfire Chasm.
