Clawed Mole, known as Mole in first two installments and Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, is is a recurring monster of the series, appearing in every game so far. Although it is often an early game enemy (with the exception of Etrian Odyssey III), its attack power often surpasses the other monsters, being able to easily kill weaker characters in a few hits. As compensation, it has weaker defenses, though.
It is depicted as a overgrown, biped mole, with big, sharp claws, which it uses to rip apart its prey.

Moles are first encountered on the 1st floor of the Emerald Grove.
Moles are rather powerful monsters that appear early in the game. Compared to the other monsters in the 1st floor, they have a very high attack power, being a dangerous enemy early on the game. To make things worse, they sometimes attack in pairs/trios, so if you're a beginner, the best thing to do is to flee from them. However, their defense is lacking and they should die in an attack or two.

Moles are first seen on the 1F. Mole continue to be seen in the first stratum until the 5F. Moles are among the weakest monsters in Etrian Odyssey II, having no notable abilities (Claws just hits slightly harder than a normal Attack) or characteristics.
Moles often show up in groups of themselves or other weak monsters. It is weak to fire, but in reality there is simply no need to exploit this weakness due to its weak nature. Moles are only a problem to low leveled, unprepared parties.
When it shows up with other monsters, it is a good idea to take out the Moles after the other enemies. If they show up in groups of 3 or more, always take them out one at a time.
It drops the Earth Nail, which you need one of to make one of the first axes (AT+21), and Soft fur, which serves no purpose other than to be sold.

Clawed Moles are fairly rare sights only in B12F. It can be hard to find them because of the staggering amounts of monsters found here, but they are most easily found at the entrance of the floor.
The Clawed Mole is also mediocre. Its skill Crazy Swipes allows it to hit your party with 2 slash attacks to the same person. Each hit, if it lands, has a chance to confuse you. Unlike other monsters, this skill is underwhelming and not very threatening. It is often paired with other monsters on this floor, usually a Cave Elephant.
