This boss fires a large, horizontal, Fire type laser that is at ground level at characters. The laser itself is rather easy to dodge, and not nearly as damaging as its yellow-tailed cousin's attack. Like the non-boss version, this boss is almost completely immune to all forms of attack except for Freeze, damage wise. However, it has a very low amount of LP compared to most other bosses this late in the game to compensate for the resistance, having only a tenth of the amount of LP that otherlate-gameForest bosses have. Once its backup snake is dead, this boss is particularly simple to deal with. Fire and Freeze type weapons are best against it.
A character with extremely high Physical damage, such as a Gunner with Missile 5 and preferably a Critical's Card backed by STR Priests, may be able to overcome the Physical resistance of this boss, allowing them to deal damage or even kill the boss in one hit. This is particularly more doable during the rematch in Volcano and allows a quick disposal of this boss for characters to focus on the other boss in the same screen.
