Diabolic Creation

Diabolic Creation is a boss in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, in the "Episode INTERmission" DLC. Yuffie and Sonon encounter it in the Combat Simulator Prototype facility of the Shinra Building in "Escape" of "Covert Ops" chapter. Yuffie and Sonon become trapped inside the now-obsolete combat simulator, and attack the Projector that is deploying digitized opposition toward their way, which projects the Diabolic Creation to shield itself. It must be defeated before the device can be attacked.
==Stats==
Being a DLC-exclusive enemy, the stats are not listed in the official guide book, and thus are unknown.
==Battle==
The Projector is surrounded by a barrier until the Diabolic Creation is defeated. Once that is done, the Projector is left vulnerable. If not defeated while staggered, it will put up its shield and summon the Diabolic Creation again. 
Diabolic Creation a durable enemy weak to , but its arm is immune to magical damage. Crippling its arm renders it vulnerable, but after recovering from pressured/stagger, uses Tentacle Reconstruction to bring it back. It can phase in and out of battle, and then use Ensnare to trap a character and deal heavy damage. It also uses Firaga, a powerful spell, and Poison Shroud, where the boss cloaks itself into venomous mist, infecting anyone too close to it.
Tentacle Slam is an attack that targets something right in front of the boss, but there is time to see it coming and avoid it. Tentacle Drill has the creation's tentacles submerge into the floor and surfaces below its target.
===Strategy===
Chthonian Armlet with Gozu Drive is a good setup for Yuffie, as she will deal more damage the more health she has. paired with to Yuffie's weapon helps her deal more physical damage.
Ensnare and Firaga should be dodged (Brumal Form helps), and the latter can be prevented altogether if the duo inflict on the creation. The boss's right arm should be crippled with physical attacks to weaken it, rendering it vulnerable to a Synergized Art of War and for magic damage. Synergizing with Sonon ensures he will attack Yuffie's target with the same damage type she is using. When the boss is staggered, the party can lock it in place with , though it is unlikely the party has amassed enough AP to learn it at this point in a first playthrough.
If the player builds limit breaks, they can be saved for when the Projector is staggered to defeat it before it summons another Diabolic Creation. If the Projector brings the Diabolic Creation back, the player will have to defeat it again, but the Projector does git regenerate health between rounds.

==Behind the scenes==
Diabolic Creation's Japanese name is "Heretic Rayleigh" akin to "Heretic Hojo" from the original Final Fantasy VII. The name is taken from Professor Rayleigh, a researcher working for Shinra that appeared in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. The creature's design is mostly based on Helletic Hojo, but with a more curvy body and tentacles resembling long hair, to invoke a more feminine appearanceFinal Fantasy VII Remake: Material Ultimania Plus, p.89.
