Death Claw (Final Fantasy VII)

Death Claw is an enemy in Final Fantasy VII fought in the unrevisitable part of Corel Prison. It is a desirable enemy to seek out during the player's time there, as it has a useful E.Skill to learn and a good armor to steal.
==Stats==
In the BradyGames guide, two sets of stats are attributed to the Death Claw enemy. However, the second set of stats are that of the Death Dealer], who does not appear in the guide.

==Locations==
Corel Prison	Corel Prison
Corner 	521, 523
Junkyard 	521, 523
==Battle==
Death Claw can be difficult to defeat as it casts Barrier and MBarrier on itself, and its Death Claw attack may inflict Paralyze. It also uses the powerful Laser attack, an Enemy Skill that halves a party member's HP. Death Claw only uses Laser when it has either Barrier or MBarrier, and even then the chance is only a 25%. It may be easier to learn Laser via manipulation. The valuable Platinum Bangle can be stolen from it.
If the player does not learn the Laser Enemy Skill before finishing Corel Prison, they cannot learn the skill until the final dungeon. Considering the cheap cost of Laser in comparison to Demi2 and the early acquisition, it is highly advisable to learn this skill on at least one Enemy Skill Materia.
