Template:Sideicon Template:FFVII Enemies Helletic Hojo is a boss in Final Fantasy VII. Once the party defeats Hojo's human form, the effects of his infusion with Jenova cells take effect transforming him to Helletic Hojo, a hideous mass of writhing flesh still wearing his tattered lab coat and glasses.
Battle
Hojo's left and right arms can be targeted separately from the body, although their defeat only prevents Helletic Hojo from utilizing them offensively and is not necessary to defeat him.
Specifically, both arms are needed for the use of Bio Gas and Confu, which always inflict Poison and Confusion, respectively. The Right Arm allows for the use of Pile Banger which may it use twice in one turn, and Sleepel and Silence can only be used when his Right arm and Left arm is down, respectively. He regenerates his arms after several turns, but if both are defeated during this time, Helletic Hojo's main body will fall down on the ground and this phase of the battle will end.

Etymology
Helletic is a mistranslation of the word "heretic", which acknowledges how nearly all of Professor Hojo's experiments go against the natural order. Him mistaking Jenova as a Cetra could also be seen as an act of heresy.
