| A large Oni with massive fin-like arms that they use to burrow through the ground and perform powerful attacks. They also utilize a sliding attack while on their stomachs, during which they use their fins to control their bodies. Accordingly, when fighting against a Terragrinder, it is recommended to concentrate on destroying their arms first. 巨大な腕鰭を持つ大型の“鬼”。本来、地面を掘り進むための腕鰭は力強く発達しており、振り回されるだけで脅威となる。 また「腹で滑る」 という特異な突進攻撃も、腕鰭による身体の制御があればこそ、実現されていると考えられる。 従ってツチカツキとの戦いては、腕の破壊を狙うことが推奨される。[1] | |||
Appearance[]
Terragrinders are large Oni resembling a mix of a mole and a turtle. They have brown skin, white eyes, a large tooth in their upper jaw and a long horn with two smaller horns in the sides. They have two large, serrated fins for arms, two legs with three claws each, and two long fins sticking out of their backs. They also have a black shell covering these three parts, as well as the sides of their heads. When they enter a rampage, their legs and fins are regenerated, having seemingly layered protection.
