Tri-Point is a boss in Final Fantasy VIII. Encountered in the Wine Cellar area, it is one of the Ultimecia's Eight Minions defeated to unlock the seals placed on the party.

In the English-language version of the game, Siren can be drawn from it if the player did not draw the GF from Elvoret. 

Battle

Once the battle initiates the Boss will say:
'USING ELEMENTAL ATTACKS.'
'WHATEVER I DON'T USE, I DON'T LIKE.'

This is an incomprehensible babble saying that if the player does not wish to be hit with Mega Spark, an all-out Thunder-based attack, the player must Scan Tri-Point first to know if its weak against either Fire or Ice. If it is weak against Fire, attack with Fire base attacks, which prompts Tri-Point to be weak against Ice, of which then the player must attacks with an Ice base attack.

If Tri-Point uses Scan on a target, the target will be hit with Onrush, an attack that ignores Vit.
