Zylom is an exclusive boss from Life Force (Arcade), appearing in Stage 2.

Description

The Zylom is a sprite-edit of Tetran, given a brain-like appearance and plant arms to replace Tetran's mechanical ones.

Given that Zylom is an edit of Tetran, it uses the same attack pattern of the original, spinning it's four arms and circling around the arena.
