Battle[]
Evil Poison.
While they have decently high HP for the time that the party can first encounter them, Bad Raps are of no big threat. Their Whip attack may be used twice in one turn. They will use Big Fang on the character with the highest current HP and their Evil Poison attack always inflicts Darkness on one character. The Ink item can be stolen from them, and is the only means of inflicting Darkness onto enemies, though this is pointless to do as it will not hinder the enemies' ability to hit the party.
Bad Raps are the only source of Luck Sources in the game.
Strategy[]
It is advised to attack them using multi-targeting spells, such as Beta, Aqualung or Magic Breath, to defeat them quickly.
The fastest way to farm Luck Sources for min-maxing purposes is to bring Yuffie equipped with Conformer, Morph and Mega All. One can also equip the Counter Materia in a linked slot with Morph, and give her Cover, to boost the frequency of morphing.

Etymology[]
The Japanese name for this enemy is likely derived from "Evil Wrap". "Wrap" would refer to its nature as a squid-like creature and the wrapping of its tentacles.
For the English translation, The synonym "bad" is used as a substitute for "evil" thereby making it a pun on the English phrase, "bad rap".
