Lanmola

Lanmolas are large sand-dwelling centipede-like monsters.

The Legend of Zelda
They are found in pairs in Death Mountain and come in orange and blue, with the speed being different. They move in cardinal directions, often several tiles at a time. The segments must be defeated one at a time to destroy them.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Three appear as the boss of the Desert Palace, and leap from under the sand to attack, and can be attacked anywhere on the body. They later appear again in Ganon's Tower. Moldorms from the first game (here called Swamolas) take a similar role in the Swamp of Evil in the dark world, but are much shorter.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
One appears as a mini-boss in Yarna Desert, acting like the three in the previous game. However, the sand is quicksand, and has a hole in the middle. If Link falls into this hole before the battle is over, he will have to start over. Once the battle is over, the Angler Key will drop into the hole.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)
In the comic adaptation of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past by Shotaro Ishinomori, a single Lanmola appears from a sinkhole at the Desert Ruin, appearing from the end of Chapter 3 to the beginning of Chapter 4. It is depicted as a grayish purple and with a single large eye. It at first confounds Link with its movements, though once he manages to get the Pendant of Power from a nearby scorpion-shaped statue, he manages to damage it and it burrows back underground. In Chapter 11, the Lanmola, along with the Moldorm and Agahnim, appears as a ghostly apparition in Ganon's Castle, but Roam defeats it with an arrow.

Zelda's Adventure
Lanmolas appear in the Great Dry Canyon, a part of the Seacoast Plain near the Swamp of Vendoss, and in the quarry near the Shrine of Strength. They are purple, have large pincers, and have four segments behind their heads that always stick out straight behind them. Like most enemies in the game, they simply wander around aimlessly.
