Tailpasaran



The Tailpasaran, like most of the enemies found Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly, is electrified, so don't even try to hurt it with your sword. The best thing to do is to wait until it emerges from the ground, Z-Target it and throw your boomerang at it to destroy it. If you don't have the boomerang, however, quickly run from it before it comes out or use a stick to damage it. This centipede-like creature is known to be quite suicidal when in danger, attempting to shock the enemy to death, which results in the Tailpasarn itself being destroyed.

Wind Waker
Tailpasaran-like enemies also appear in Wind Waker. The Forbidden Woods has a small area where the Dexivines (fan name based on Dexihand) spawn. The official name of these enemies is not known. They are purple tentacles that come from the ground and drain magic power by grabbing hold of Link. They can be killed easily by cutting them, but they will always grow back.

There is a small area within the Forbidden Woods where they appear (see image, right). The Wind Temple also has a number of spawns in the deep canyons you fall down into when failing to reach one of the raised platforms. These annoyances can be a problem if they hold you in a group of enemies, however a quick slash of your sword will easily dispatch of these critters.
