Scrutin Eye is an enemy in Final Fantasy VII fought on the Cargo Ship and in the sixth round of the Battle Square before the player obtains the Tiny Bronco. When fought in the Battle Square its stats are enhanced with double the normal HP and its Attack and Magic Attack are increased by 25%.
It knows a few powerful spells and can be a danger, but the party should also have Level 2 spells or Matra Magic by this point and can use them to defeat the Scrutin Eye. Ethers can be obtained from them, making them valuable enemies to fight.
