=== Strategy ===
* It has insanely high offense, but it also has very low defense.
* Since its defense is only 6, it's very easy to defeat with simple physical attacks.
== Trivia ==
* Its defense was intended to be 262, which is listed as its defense in the official Player's Guide. However, the EarthBound battle engine cannot handle a defense rating higher than 255, so 256 becomes 0, 257 becomes 1, etc., and so 262 becomes 6.
* It is one of the very few non-boss enemies to use the Sanctuary Guardian theme.
