Syger

Syger is the mini-boss of Unicorn's Cave, the fifth dungeon of. Resembling a Sabre-Toothed Tiger, this mini-boss features two menacing "sabre-tooth" fangs.

Strategy
Syger rolls into a spiked ball and rolls across the room in an attempt to harm Link. There is a brief window between these attacks where Link can attack Syger's weak point, the red ball-shaped tip of his tail, with his sword.
