Crawler





Crawler is a decently strong monster that can freeze you with Ice Knife or douse you with Water Pillar Lv 2. Both deal decent damage. The best thing to do is just go with regular attacks, whatever your strongest spell options are or use physical attacks. They aren't really dodgeable.



In the remake, it can now Silence you, which removes your ability to cast spells. This is far more potent at times, but you're able to still easily run from a fight or get close enough for a physical attack.

Trivia

 * Crawler is enemy byte value 2 in the coding.
 * It has a counterpart in Caterpillar, which uses the same model shape and same set of sprites.
 * They even have similar attacks, though only in the Nintendo 64 version. Both have a projectile that targets an enemy when they're far away, being Homing Arrow Lv 2 and Ice Knife. Their close attacks are Fire Pillar and Water Pillar Lv 2.
 * It's renamed to Crowler in the remake, which is also its Japanese spelling in Eltale Monsters. It appears to be a basic translation oddity.
 * Crawler appears to be based upon a millipede or centipede, though significantly shorter and has a wider body. It also has a bloodshot eye. There doesn't seem to be any meaning behind the design either.
