Trivia
- An enemy which also gives a lot of EXP exists in EarthBound called the Criminal Caterpillar, although its more-so rare to find than prone to running.
- In the companion guide, it is called "Red Snake" in all releases of the game.
- Its description reads, "This enemy, which shows up in Easter, is actually a coward and turns tail a lot. Enemies with personalities like this often turn out to be keeping a minor secret of some sort. There's got to be a reason it doesn't want to be defeated.".
