Octorok

For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).

From the official guides

A restless one that runs all over the ground, then stops and spits rocks in every direction. The shield bounces the rocks back, so take your time and close in slowly.

Lives in the south and west of Hyrule. It walks up, down, and sideways, spitting shots. Some spit in two directions and some in four. Come at it at an angle.
