Battle[]
L4 Death.
Allemagne uses the powerful L4 Death and L3 Flare as counter attacks if the player attacks it with magic; if the player has a party of level 99 characters, the latter may spell certain death. Allemagne uses both once per battle. It mostly uses physical attacks and may use its claw attack twice in one turn. Its Teardrop does minor non-elemental damage and always inflicts Sadness, and its Big Breath does non-elemental damage to one party member. Allemagne has low HP and the party can kill it in a few turns.
If an Allemagne defeats itself via L4 Death in a pincer formation (achieved via manipulating it), its battle model remains on-screen even if it has been defeated. This is a cosmetic glitch and does not affect gameplay.
Strategy[]
Allemagne's level is a multiple of both 4 and 3, and thus it is possible to manipulate it into using L4 Death or L3 Flare on itself, or cast L4 Suicide on it.

Etymology[]
Angra Mainyu in the Avestan language and Ahriman in Middle Persian is the Zoroastrian idea of the devil, meaning "destructive spirit".
"Allemagne" is the French term for "Germany"; in Final Fantasy VII its use is a mistranslation of Ahriman.
