Like the red one, it moves fast and has no spot to aim at. But it is weak to fire, so think it through and attack.

ファミリーコンピュータ必勝シリーズ1 ゼルダの伝説 (ミリオン出版, 1986), p. 75, 101Leafy's translation

A giant centipede that lives in the labyrinths. There are red and blue ones, and the blue moves more than twice as fast as the red. You can't beat it by going for the head right away: first cut off its whole body, then finish it. The safest way is to avoid close fighting and use the sword beam or the Rod.

わんぱっくコミック増刊 ゼルダの伝説 必勝ヒント本 (徳間書店, 1986), p. 13, 101Leafy's translation

Giant centipedes. It's not effective to attack one's head so aim at his body. There are two kinds of Lamolas, red ones and blue ones. They both move very quickly but the blue Lanmola moves with ultra high speed. It's dangerous to get too close so you must have a weapon that enables you to attack him from a distance.

A giant centipede. It is very fast too, and two of them attack as a pair.

A giant centipede that runs around fast on its many legs. Attacking its head has no effect. The best way is to attack with the Red Candle. It walks over the flames on its own and dies.

It moves the same way as Moldorm. But attacks on its head do nothing at all. Blue and red have the same power.

A giant centipede monster. Hitting its head does nothing, so get around it and attack from the side or from behind. It moves very fast for its big body, so be careful.

A giant centipede that moves very fast. Like Moldorm, you crush its segments one at a time, but it darts around so quickly that you need to be more careful. Attacking the head does nothing, so don't bother. They appear in pairs.
