Subterror

Subterror (ドッグラー, Dogguraa; lit. "Digger") is the name given to an over sized mole in Oracle of Ages. Haunting the sands of the Moonlit Grotto it propels itself under the soil of its lair with its strong forearms and drill-like nose. When an enemy gets within range of the mole, it will fling its nose out of the sand, attempting to spear the opponent to death. Link found a way to destroy this creature by digging it out of the sand with a shovel and then striking it with his sword.

Trivia

 * Its English name is a portmanteu of "subterranean," referring to its underground habitat, and "terror."
