Description
Underworld Enemy #14: Lanmola

"A gigantic centipede. Attacking his head won't work. Boy! Does he move fast!"

-The Legend of Zelda Manual

Though Ganon's pupils were taught well, they were never able to surpass their master's twisted talents, always being outdone and outperformed on any subject or skill. One of Ganon's lessons was to show his followers the dark art of augmenting animals and other organisms, changing creatures' sizes, appearances and temperaments to many varying degrees. The budding sorcerers employed this skill often, using it to alter and mutate such things as bats, slime-molds and earthworms. Ganon's lesson example resulted in the creation of the Lanmola, a monstrosity much more powerful and resilient than the similarly proportioned Moldorm. Transformed from a common centipede, the cyclopic Lanmola is the largest creature at Ganon's disposal, and only a scant few of them exist. Residing exclusively in Ganon's own fortress, the giant arthropods are adept at traveling in pitch-black conditions, their enlarged solitary eyes acting like lanterns and their many legs allowing for extraordinarily fast travel on any surface. Among being the largest creatures in the underworld, they are also the most heavily armored, with their underbelly being the only area vulnerable to attack. The Lanmola's serrated mandibles, their double-barbed tails and their intimidating length and speed can often disorient an attacker, making a run-in with one of them very difficult and intense.
