Garula is an enemy in Final Fantasy XV fought in the plains of Duscae as regular enemies and during Hunts. It is based on the enemy of the same name from Final Fantasy V. Wild garula are some of the few benign enemies in the game, and will only attack if provoked. They sometimes cross the road at creature crossings.
They are also fought in Timed Quests alongside garulessa on the following days of the month: 7, 20 and 29. Defeating them yields 50 QP.
A triad of Lv.12 garula also appears in the Duscae Deathmatch and All-Star Monster Mayhem of the Totomostro. Their team name is Alstor Long Noses.
Jumbo Tusk: Garula fishing lure is fashioned after this enemy. There is also a bag of garula dung fertilizer in a wagon in Lestallum.

Stats
Enemy
Hunt
Battle
Garula appear during daytime and do not attack unless provoked. When angered, they charge at the party, knocking the player down if not dodged. Their tusks can be broken off. They are weak to greatswords, firearms and the fire element. They are not difficult enemies to defeat, and are an easy source of meat for camping.
Strategy
When grouped together, the player can easily _target them with fire-elemental elemancy. Getting behind them is usually easy and attacking their backsides with greatswords can trigger powerful blindside links. The player can also character-swap to Gladiolus, who wields a greatsword and can also better withstand the garulas' charge without being knocked down.
