A unique variety of cripshay that is particularly large, ferocious and rapacious compared to others of its kind. When it locates potential prey, it will command other cripshays to pounce en masse.
Enemy Intel
Horned Cripshay is an enemy in "Episode INTERmission" in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. It is a larger variety of cripshay, and can summon its smaller brethren into battle and devour them to recover its health. It is fought in a fixed battle as part of the main quest in the Sector 7 Slums' Shipping Facility.
Stats[]
Because the horned cripshay only appears in a DLC episode, its stats beyond what is shown during assess are unknown.
Battle[]
Frenzied Charge.
The horned cripshay is an aggressive, and much larger version of the regular cripshay. It mainly uses physical attacks via headbutts and tail sweeps. It also has a powerful attack called Frenzied Charge, where it'll stand on its hind legs, and use its horns to quickly launch characters into the air unless they are blocking. It can also spit large blobs of acid that inflict 
Poison on hit.
The beast can summon regular cripshays to its aid through Rallying Cry. Killing the cripshays will pressure the horned cripshay, allowing the player to retaliate. The horned cripshay's most dangerous attack is Devour, where it'll leap and bind a character on the ground while summoning three cripshays. It deals massive damage and heals the horned cripshay, who will then be surrounded by a bloody aura that empowers its attacks and causes them to heal.
Much like most biological monsters, the horned cripshay is weak to 
Ice.
Strategy[]
Ice Ninjutsu.
Yuffie should open with Ice Ninjutsu and then use Throw while keeping a distance and dodging the horned cripshay's attacks. When it summons other cripshays, using Throw into Windstorm can deal massive damage in an area and instantly kill all the cripshays, rendering the mini-boss vulnerable. When this happens, Yuffie can synergize with Sonon to use Synergized Art of War and then Synergized Windstorm when the horned cripshay is staggered.
Yuffie can steal/mug an elixir from it. A Gozu drive is obtained for defeating it, which used in combination with the chthonian armlet armor piece to deal bonus damage the more HP the equipper has.
Defeating the horned cripshay in hard mode earns a manuscript for Yuffie and Sonon.
