Mini-Moldorm

The Moldorm species is a legendary one, and these tiny babies are no exception. Their snake-like movements and rapid speed make them hard to strike. Mini-Moldorms (テール) are incapable of attacking besides physical contact, much like the Moldorm. However, while an adult Moldorm's only weak spot is its tail, the entire body of a Mini-Moldorm is vulnerable.

Mini-Moldorms are one of the most common enemies at the start of any game they are in, but they eventually become scarce, replaced with more difficult monsters like DarknutS. Up until this point 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.

 * Mini-Moldorms are one of the few normal creatures of the Oracle series to be completely immune to Gale Seeds.
