A giant bug that stretches its body from the ground toward the sky. You can't defeat it without damaging its head.
A caterpillar that stands up; only its head is vulnerable.
Gentle for its looks, it stretches its huge body to the sky and sways, eating insects and other things that come close. Its whole body is poisonous, so be careful. Attacking its body makes it shrink, so aim for the head.
A huge creature in the desert. You do not need to worry about it attacking. Beating it is easy. Stab the white part of its body and it shrinks, and then you aim for the head.
An enemy that does nothing but stretch its body up and up, but its body is poisonous...
A giant centipede, but it only shows its body above the desert sand and never attacks directly. You can only beat it by striking its head. If you strike its body, it goes back underground, leaving its head.
