êúô0(äñ) is an enemy from Final Fantasy VII. They are a test enemy hidden within the game data. In the Japanese version of the game, the model they used was the Guard Hound enemy's model.
Despite the only access to this enemy in the game being mainly through hacking devices, they could be fought in one formation in the Japanese version of the game. A group of four could be fought at the bottom of the well in Corel Prison. In the original PC version of Final Fantasy VII, if one switches the CD just before the beginning of a battle a glitch will trigger and a fight with êúô0(äñ) will ensue. Upon either killing it or by running away, the player will return to the world map at the point they left it the last time.
êúô0(äñ)s are notoriously easy to beat as they do not fight back - they only say "it hurts" and beg for the player to stop. They take a long time to defeat, however, as the levels of the party members at the time they enter Corel Prison are too low to inflict decent damage (and êúô0(äñ)s have high Speed and Evasion stats).
They are believed to have been used for debugging purposes by the programmers, who seemingly forgot to remove them or left them in the game as an Easter egg. Among the debug enemies, the êúô0(äñ) is unique in that it made a return as an official enemy in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth under the name Test 0.
