Tail Vault is an enemy from Final Fantasy VII fought on the world map in the Wutai Area and in the second round of the Battle Square after Gold Saucer reopens and the player has the Highwind. When fought in the Battle Square, its stats are enhanced with double the regular HP and its Attack and Magic Attack are increased by 25%.
It only has two physical attacks and can be defeated easily with Aqualung or simply L4 Suicide and physical attacks. It uses only Somersault as counter-attack against each party member in same turn, every time it is attacked by four physical attacks. As it always drops a Phoenix Down, they can be fought to easily amass large quantities of them. They also come to use during the time the player is in Wutai without their Materia and needs to rely on items to heal and revive.
