The lord of dragons has returned again in Final Fantasy VIII. Bahamut's attack is one of the few non-elemental GF attacks, but it is not as powerful as in previous games. That said, the animation is long enough to give a boost to 250 for extra damage.
Above and beyond, Bahamut's best offering is the Ability x4. This is the only GF to have it. You must find the two Rosetta Stones, and teach any other GF the ability. This alone makes getting Bahamut worth while.
Bahamut also has a few useful abilities to hand out. There is another Mug, as well as a Rare Item. With the Rare Item, you will have a higher success in stealing the harder to get items from your enemies.
FORBID MAG-REF allows you to refine items into Meteor, and Ultima.
