Playing FFVII for the second time round, I noticed something strange.
Cloud and the others can't get across the swamp because of the "midgar zolem" right?
And I quote from the strategy guide, "Trying to cross the marsh on foot can be dangerous, because there's a huge serpent known as the Midgar Zolem that hunts anyone who enters the area".
It only mentions one, as it does in the game. You can also only see one in the marsh. This gives the impression that the Midgar Zolem is one unique creature.
However arriving at the swamp you see that Sephiroth has killed "a" Midgar Zolem. Quote from strategy guide also says, "you'll encounter "a" Midgar Zolem that has been impaled on a broken tree". Not the Midgar Zolem. That implies there is more than one of them around that area.
Also the fact that you can kill it over and over and it still remains there - is it the same Midgar Zolem or others of the same species that you are killing?
