What Wikipedia says

A claw is a curved, pointed appendage found at the end of a toe or finger in most amniotes (mammals, reptiles, birds). Some invertebrates such as beetles, spiders, and velvet worms have somewhat similar fine, hooked structures at the end of the leg or tarsus for gripping a surface as they walk.
