Notable members Giant Wildclaw

Wildclaws are enemies in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. They are large tiger-Rabbid hybrids that have a giant claw. Similar to Smashers from Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, they have relatively low movement range and can only attack at close range using their giant claws to perform a slam attack if they get close enough to one of the player's characters; however, if a Wildclaw is attacked, it will run towards the character that launched the attack, followed by a counterattack if the Wildclaw is able to catch up to its target. Wildclaws are weak against Splash and resist Burn.

Wildclaws can also be summoned as allies by a Spark called Wildclaw Master.

Variant

There is only one variation of Wildclaws.

• Giant Wildclaw - A giant version of a Wildclaw that appears as the boss of the Sunrise Temple in Beacon Beach. Unlike the other giant bosses, it is mandatory to defeat.

Memory bio

WILDCLAWS

These creatures inherited feline DNA, giving them formidable predatory instincts. They rush their attacker instantly when assaulted - a habit we can use to our advantage to lure them where we wish.
These Wildclaws despise contact with water, and are resistant to fire-based attacks. To my surprise, I find them both menacing and cute, a reminder that bioforms are complex, varied, and often hold contradictions.
