In {{TLoZ}}, Lanmolas are only found in [[Level-9]] in both Quests and are powerful foes. They come in red and blue varieties, with the latter ones being faster. Like the [[Moldorm]]s in the game, the Lanmolas grow shorter by one segment with each blow, but only the tail part of their body is weak at first; the head can only be harmed once the remaining segments have been destroyed. Their fast movement, multiple legs and their weakness in the tail actually makes them more akin to [[Moldorm]]s of later games. When defeated, red Lanmolas may drop either a [[Heart]], a [[Fairy]] or one [[Rupee]], while blue Lanmolas may drop either a Heart, one Rupee, five Rupees, or a [[Clock]].{{Note|If Link defeats 10 enemies without getting hit or teleporting with the Recorder, then the 10th enemy defeated will drop five | {{Manual|TLoZ|Lanmola|A gigantic centipede.

A group of three Lanmolas are the bosses of the | A group of three Lanmolas are the bosses of the {{Term|ALttP|Desert Palace|link}} in {{ALttP}}. In this game, they hide underground and occasionally surface to attack, then return to the underground. When they burrow out of the ground, they send bits of rock flying in several directions. The sword is the most common method of dealing with them; however, [[arrow]]s and the [[Ice Rod]] are both effective as well. After two are defeated, the last one will begin to move faster, and creates more bits of rock upon surfacing. Once the final one has been taken care of, [[Link]] gets the Pendant of Power and a [[Heart Container]]. | ||

This time, however, there is a [[Stone Statue]] in the room that will occasionally fire beams at Link. | ||

In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, a Lanmola appears after Link, using the [[Book of Mudora]] in the [[Desert of Mystery]], reveals a scorpion statue that has the [[Pendant of Power]] hanging on it. Before Link can approach it, he sinks into the quicksand and resurfaces on top of a Lanmola. Link tries to attack it with his sword, but its skin is too hard to cause any damage to it.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=This is hopeless!

In the {{LA|Cagiva}}, a {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Lanmola}} attacks {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Link|link}} while exploring {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Yarna Desert|link}}. Due to the quicksand, {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Link}} cannot move swiftly, so he tries attacking the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Lanmola}} with {{Plural|LA (Cagiva)|Bomb|link}} to no avail. He then decides to remove his {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Shield|link}} and use it as a foot hold, asking {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Felicia|link}} to warn him when it appears. When the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Lanmola}} emerges from the sand, {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Link}} evades its attack and counters it with a {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Spin Attack|link}}. As the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Lanmola}} dissolves, the {{Term|LA (Cagiva)|Angler Key|link}} appears from within. | |||
