Proto Ultima, or Proto-Ultima, may refer to:
- The notorious monster from Final Fantasy XI.
- The boss from Final Fantasy XIV.
Etymology
Proto- is a Greek prefix that means "first".
Ultima means "the last" in Latin and many Latin-based languages. The word is an inflection of ultimus which is the superlative of ulter, which means "that is beyond". In the Spanish versions of many Final Fantasy games, the spell Ultima's name is written as "Artema", a close transliteration of the Japanese katakana.
