Cray Claw (Final Fantasy V)

Cray Claw, also known as Clay Claw, is a boss in Final Fantasy V. As the party gets the airship out of the hangar, they notice the Cray Claw latched onto the hull, dragging them down. To take off, they must defeat it.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Compared to the previous bosses, Cray Claw can be very easy. His Tail Screw attack will put a character into critical status, while his mucus attack inflicts sap. If he casts these attacks back-to-back, it might KO a character. 
He is susceptible to the paralyzing effect of a Beastmaster's whip. Paralyzing him each turn with an Attack can prevent him from dealing damage entirely.
===Strategy===
A White Mage should be able to keep up with healing.
Attacking with lightning element will make short work of him. Options at this point are:
* Black Mage casting Thundara
* Mystic Knight charging Thundara Sword and attacking
* Ninja throwing Lightning Scrolls
* Summoner summoning Ramuh
* Any rod-using class breaking Thunder Rods
Cray Claw is also vulnerable to the Coral Sword, which can be stolen from Cray Claw itself. A Knight with a Coral Sword and the Two-Handed ability can take this boss down in two hits.
Cray Claw is not immune to petrification or instant death, and can be one-hit killed by using the Beastmaster's Catch and Release to unleash an Undead Husk to cast Break, or Mani Wizard to cast Death (which are both far unavailable to the party's Black Mages at this point). This method is very elaborate as it requires finding a Undead Husk at the Ship Graveyard or Mani Wizard in the Wind Shrine and requires a lot of foresight as the player will be rail-roaded a lot before encountering Cray Claw, so it would be best to capture the suitable monsters way before even going to the Desert of Shifting Sands to reach the Gohn.
