Tonadu is an enemy from Final Fantasy VII fought on the beaches in the Woodlands Area and Icicle Area, and in the second round of the Battle Square in Part 2 onwards after Gold Saucer reopens. When fought in the Battle Square its stats are enhanced with double the regular HP and its Attack and Magic Attack are increased by 25%.
Tonadu uses one physical attack, and one Wind attack called Great Gale, which may inflict Darkness to all party members. The party can avoid the area it is found with ease, but if it is fought, the player should not use Water or Earth attacks, as they will not work.

Etymology[]
Tonadu's Japanese name is from the French word for tornado, "tornade". This is unrelated to the Diver Nest's attack "Tornade Wave", which is just a mislocalization of "Tornado Wave".
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.
