Mini-Moldorm

The Moldorm species is a legendary one, and these tiny babies are no exception. Their snake-like movements and rapid speed makes them hard to strike.

Besides the quick way in which they can move, Mini-Moldorms are incapable of attacking besides physical contact, much like the Moldorm. However, while the Moldorm's only weak spot is its tail, the entire body of a Mini-Moldorm is its weak spot.

Mini-Moldorms are one of the most common enemies at the start of any game they are in, but they eventually become scare, replaced with more difficult monsters like Darknuts. Up until the point at which they become obsolete, Mini-Moldorms will appear in and out of dungeons.

Depending on the sword Link uses, the Mini-Moldorm may need a few swipes to be defeated, or it may be struck down immediately. All other weapons will require at least two hits to kill this monster.
