Lobarrier

Lobarriers are crab-like enemies found in Spirit Tracks, that inhabit the upper section of the Ocean Sanctuary and the lower section of Papuchia Village. A Lobarrier can only move side to side and will use its massive stone claw to reach out and swipe at Link if he gets too close. They use their impenetrable claw to block frontal attacks. However, they can be outsmarted in two different ways. The first way is to use the boomerang. By tossing it around the Lobarrier and whacking it from behind, Link can stun it and then finish it off with his sword. The second way involves the whip. Use the whip to remove the large claw to make the Lobarrier vulnerable. Then, either chuck the claw back at the Lobarrier or attack with the sword.
