Pin Head

Pin Head is a highly powerful enemy that pelts you with Fire Ball Lv 3 when it is even slightly far away. If close enough, it'll perform a much less damaging physical attack.

In the remake, it instead has Hot Steam Lv 2 and Fire Bomb. Due to its large agility, it'll usually get close to you as is.

Trivia

 * Pin Head is enemy byte value 2 in the coding.
 * It has a counterpart in Apophis.
 * In the puzzle game, Apophis transforms into Pin Head.
 * Pin Head's Japanese name, which is Nidhoggr or Needle Head(depending how you read it), refers both to its obvious design(pins and needles) as well as being loosely based upon the Norse deity. Likewise, it is similar to the Dragon from Book of Revelations, which Nidhoggr is a similar tale to.
 * This makes Pin Head and Pale Rider the only ones to really be tied to Norse Mythology in design as well. Pale Rider is pretty clearly based upon Sleipner to some degree.
 * Judgment is a statue of Hades, which follows the Pale Rider(Death's Horse). This makes all three tied to the Book of Revelations as well. Only Spriggan doesn't have a straight counterpart(though may be loosely based upon the Tempter).
 * In one of the many Beta builds, it was Wind instead. This fits Nidhoggr to a degree, but also works somewhat well considering it and Apophis are counterparts. A lot of counterparts are the same Element, after all.
 * White Rose Knight and Red Rose Knight also were Wind in the same Beta build.
