The Bottomswell is a boss in Final Fantasy VII.

A little girl called Priscilla is attacked by Bottomswell while playing with her dolphin in the lower section of Junon.

After the boss' defeat, Cloud must perform CPR to bring Priscilla back to life.

[edit] Strategy

Similar to Reno, Bottomswell can paralyze characters using Waterball and trapping them inside a Waterpolo, but they can be freed by casting a spell on the character. Bottomswell also uses a Big Wave attack to inflict mediocre damage on the entire party and is out of their range. Unless they have a Long Range Materia (one of which is conveniently located in the Mythril Mines prior to Junon), only Barret and Yuffie can attack Bottomswell physically, the other party members must use magic or Limit Breaks. If players are able to defeat Midgar Zolom prior to exploring the Mythril Mines, its powerful Beta attack makes Bottomswell much easier to defeat, as it inflicts 1,000 or more damage and can thus defeat Bottomswell in three hits.
