Appearances[]
Final Fantasy III[]
Iron Claws is an enemy fought at the Ancients' Maze, usually fought in pairs and can be summoned by the Greater Demon. It fights using strong physical attacks.
Final Fantasy V[]
Iron Claw is a boss fought at Karnak Castle, after all of the Cur Nakks are defeated before the Sergeant. It is not a very difficult boss, but is the earliest method of obtaining the Death Claw Blue Magic spell. If the Sergeant is defeated before the Cur Nakks, the player can permanently miss fighting Iron Claw.
Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-[]
Iron Claw is an enemy fought during Missions 2-5-1, 6-5-6, and 9-3-6. Iron Claws are highly dangerous, as they can inflict Stop with their normal attacks, and cast powerful spells such as Flare, Tri-Thundaga, and Tri-Fire.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Iron Claws are Allagan constructs that appear as enemies in The Labyrinth of the Ancients during the Phlegethon encounter. When it appears it will fixate on a random player and use Death Grip to trap. The party must free the trapped players by defeating the Iron Claws before Phlegethon casts Ancient Flare. The Magitek Death Claws employed by the Garlean Empire are derived from the Allagan Iron Claws.
