Zirconiade (ジルコニアエイド, Jirukoniaeido) is the Final Boss of Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. A so-called "Ultimate Summon", Zirconiade's materia was shattered into pieces some time ago. The three pieces of the Materia were assembled by AVALANCHE's demented scientist and former apprentice to Bugenhagen, Fuhito, who used them to merge with Zirconiade in order to facilitate his plan to wipe out all life in the world and thus all threats to it. By doing this, his natural human body became so powerful and charged by the materia that his body changed form, and held only a small part of his sanity. Unfortunately for him, his plan fell short when Zirconiade was defeated by the Turks in the Slums of Midgar, soon after his own demise. Prior to Zirconiade's destruction, the destroyed plate as seen in the opening of Final Fantasy VII was a result of Zirconiade's defeat.
