'''Tailpasarans''' are parasitic tapeworms appearing in {{OOT}}. They are found exclusively [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]], and like many other monsters in that dungeon, their slender bodies are flowing with electricity, so direct sword attacks are more likely to hurt [[Link]] than the creature itself. To destroy a Tailpasaran, Link should wait and throw the [[boomerang]] while [[Targeting System|Z-Targeting]] when one emerges from the ground. However, if Link is not equipped with a boomerang, he should quickly run from it before it emerges or damage it using a stick. These centipede-like creatures are known to be quite suicidal when in danger, attempting to shock the enemy to death, which results in the Tailpasaran itself being destroyed.

Tailpasaran are found exclusively [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]]. Their slender bodies are flowing with electricity, so though most direct [[Sword]] attacks will kill them, they will also damage [[Link]] in return. Strikes from the [[Boomerang]] will immediately kill Tailpasaran. When initially encountered, Tailpasaran remain burrowed in the floors of [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]]'s body. In this state, they cannot be killed by any means other than with the Boomerang. When approached, Tailpasaran will rise from their position and fly around in the air. While in the air, they will attempt to ram into Link.
 
[[Spin Attack]]s will destroy Tailpasaran without damaging Link. [[Deku Nut]]s can temporarily stun Tailpasaran.
 
==Nomenclature==
Tailpasaran derive their name from [[Moldorm]]'s Japanese name, {{Romanize|テール|Tēru|Tail}} and ''pasaran'' from the mythological kesaran pasaran, a puffball creature. The same name is used for the Mario enemy rendered as "Hothead" in English, which is a sparking ball of electricity, similar to the Tailpasaran's segments.
