Grotesque fiends with sturdy exoskeletons and dense muscles. Often found in deserts, they sharpen their claws relentlessly and never let their prey escape.

Battle[]
Reaper Claws.
The Death Claw is a monstrous fiend that has multiple stinger-like limbs as its arms. It can attack by clawing the player, or by performing a spinning attack with its limbs that knocks characters down.
Its most dangerous attack is Reaper Claws, an unblockable two-hit claw strike that deals gravity-damage, reducing the victim's HP by 99%. This attack cannot be blocked, but it's not lethal; even if the character has 1 HP it'll not take them down.
The Death Claw has no elemental weaknesses.
Strategy[]
Except for Reaper Claws, all its other attacks can be blocked and effectively countered by Cloud's counter while in Punisher Mode. The creature, however, is resilient and difficult to pressure, unless when dodging its Reaper Claws, which can be difficult as it is a very fast attack. It's highly recommended to use an agile character like Cloud, Tifa or Yuffie to dodge the attack.
On Hard Mode the Death Claw is slightly more aggressive and will use Reaper Claws more often.
