Swamola

Appearing only in A Link to the Past, Swamola is a swamp worm that appears outside of the Misery Mire dungeon, in the Swamp of Evil in the Dark World. It appears to be related to a Lanmola, but it is much smaller and weaker. However, unlike Lanmola it has pincers at the front of its head with which it can cause a lot of damage. It leaps from the slime of the swamp looking for food, and will bite at Link before dropping back into the swamp. It shares its home with Ku.
