9. Carbuncle

While Siren can offer some useful attacking status effects, Carbuncle makes the top 10 ahead of the harp playing woman as the only repeat summon to cast defensive status effects and spells on the party themselves.

First appearing in FFV, the small, green mammal with a red gem rammed into its forehead consistently inflicts the party with Reflect, Haste, and often Shell or Protect.

While one of the most underused summons, it's consistent appearances and ability to help an under-levelled party match some of the more powerful Final Fantasy bosses is why it makes the list.
