Revision as of 14:01, 23 May 2019

Claws are a recurring type of weapon in the series and have appeared in practically every installment in the series since their introduction. They are favored by martial artists and other barehanded brawlers since conventional weapons do not suit them. Due to their somewhat primitive nature, claws are also wielded by characters who are closer to nature and even monster companions. Claws are also used by some monsters, such as Riptides and Claws.

Some notable claws throughout the series are the Golden claws, the Cobra claw, and the Orichalcum claws.

Appearances

Claws are introduced in this game, being the preferred weapon type of Martial Artists. They are the only weapons they can use which do not impart a penalty to their attack power. In remake versions of the game, more claws have been added and Thieves can also equip some of them, as well.

Alena can use all of the claws in the game, as can Psaro in the remakes. Maya, oddly enough, is able to wield the cobra claw.

Claws could only be used by the various monster companions in the original SNES version of the game, especially Saber. Fangs are distinct as they can only be wielded by monsters. In the DS version, Debora is able to wield claws, as well.
