Aps

Aps, is a boss in Final Fantasy VII. It is the first "non-robotic" boss faced in the game. Tifa, Cloud, and Aeris encounter it in the Midgar sewers at the beginning of "Prevent the Fall of the Plate". It is one of the monstrous pets of Don Corneo, and resides in the sewers directly below his mansion.

==Battle==
It is possible to get a pre-emptive attack on Aps, unlike against most other bosses. Attacks to the back of Aps inflict quadruple damage, as opposed to the regular double for the majority of enemies. Aps is weak to Fire.
Sewer Tsunami is Aps's strongest attack, but it damages Aps as well. The tsunami can come either forward, which causes more damage to Aps (between 180–192 HP) than the party, or backward of party, which causes more damage to the party than Aps (between 45–48 HP). After using it on his first turn, Aps will either use either Lick or Tail Attack. When hit by magic, Aps will use Sewer Tsunami from both directions. Aps's Lick attack inflicts Sadness, which reduces damage taken but halves the speed the party's Limit gauges fill.
===Strategy===
Aeris should concentrate on casting Fire and healing. Cloud's Cross-slash Limit Break often paralyzes Aps for most of the fight. If Aps is paralyzed, it will not counterattack with Sewer Tsunami.

===Notes===
*The "2nd opponent" refers to the middle party member, usually Aeris if the player doesn't swap character positions.
*Aps has two different flinch animations: one for the Sewer Tsunami ability and one for all other attacks.

==Gallery==
Aps has a tattoo similar to Don Corneo's in its artwork, which is absent from its in-game model: a heart with a sword through it, bordered with the text "Colneo's[sic] Pet No. ", "son of a bitch", and "kill".
