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.
