Lanmola

A Lanmola is a centipede-like enemy found in three games to date. These include The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening. In the final two, Lanmola serves as a Boss or Mini-Boss. However, in the original The Legend of Zelda, it appears as a regular enemy.

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

There are two types of Lanmolas found in The Legend of Zelda. One is red and the other is blue. Both types are only found in the final dungeon of the game, Death Mountain. They were created solely for this dungeon, an element that more recent Zelda installments have failed to do. The can be killed with constant Sword strikes to their head. They appear multiple times throughout the dungeon.

A Link to the Past

Main article: Lanmola (A Link to the Past)

In A Link to the Past, the Lanmolas are the boss of the Desert Palace. However, instead of fighting one Lanmola, Link will have to fight three of them at once. The Lanmolas later appear as a Mini-Boss in Ganon's Tower.

Link's Awakening

There are only two Lanmolas in Link's Awakening, similarly to A Link to the Past. The first Lanmola is found in the Yarna Desert, guarding the Angler Key, which is needed to gain access to the fourth dungeon in the game, Angler's Tunnel. The second time is during the Final Boss battle, where the Nightmare takes a form of the Lanmola.
