Levrikon (VII Remake)

Levrikon is an enemy in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, in the "Episode INTERmission" DLC. Yuffie and Sonon encounter one as a "mini boss" in the Waste Disposal Area of Sector 7 Slums in "Main Pillar Maintenance".
==Stats==
Being a DLC-exclusive enemy, the stats are not listed in the official guide book, and thus are unknown.
==Battle==
The levrikon is a large, agile and sturdy bird capable of dealing massive damage. It mainly uses physical attacks, such as beak pecks and kicks with its long legs, as well a charge attack where it dashes at the player. It can also use Acid Shower, a long range magic attack that inflicts in a large arc in front of it. It can also use on itself.
The bird may pick a rock from the ground and hold it, repelling any frontal attack and retaliating with a counterattack. The bird will attack with the rock, swinging it at the player. After a while, it'll throw the rock at the player, dealing heavy damage and knocking them down unless blocked. If the levrikon takes enough damage before using Stone Throw, it'll drop it.
The levrikon's most dangerous attack is Brutalize, where it'll attempt to grab the player with its claws. If successful, it'll fling the character around before throwing them away, dealing massive damage. Button-mashing will release the player from its grasp.
Like most of the biological monsters, the Levrikon is weak to , and also to .
===Strategy===
As soon as the fight starts, the player should use either Fire Ninjutsu or Ice Ninjutsu to deal increased damage. can be a good weapon for Yuffie to capitalize on her ninjutsu-use. Much like previous larger enemies, it is best to use Throw and remain a distance from the levrikon while using infused ninjutsu attacks; while synergized, Yuffie and Sonon double up their efforts in the chosen element (it is best to turn synergized off when the boss picks up a rock, however). The element from Elemental Ninjutsu also affects which Banishment Yuffie can use; it is good to use as soon as it levels up to grade III. Yuffie can avoid the bird's attacks with a well-timed Brumal Form. Brumal Form is easy to time while staying a good distance away from the bird; especially Brutalize should be evaded with Brumal Form, as it will deal great damage otherwise.
Fire spells are potent against the levrikon, and if the player picked up the earlier, pairing it with in Sonon's weapon can make physical attacks and Art of War/Synergized Art of War more worthwhile.
When the levrikon is holding a rock, it is good to get it positioned between Yuffie and Sonon. When it is facing Sonon, the player can attack it with Yuffie from behind, and when it turns, the player can command Sonon to attack it from behind. The player should not be synergized for this to work.
Yuffie can steal/mug an elixir from the levrikon.
Defeating it will earn a Mezu drive, which is similar to the Gozu drive, meaning it only works with chthonian armlet, but instead works based on MP. In hard mode, defeating levrikon earns a manuscript for both Yuffie and Sonon.
