The Pit Slug is a miniboss in Contra: Legacy of War.
Description[]
The Pit Slug is a large multi-segmented Trilobite-like creature that is fought in a pit area where it is presumably kept to avoid it attacking the soldiers. It inches around and goes after the player with its spike tipped feelers and firing off single spikes out of it as a projectile. It also spins around in place at times. As it takes damage it changes color until its feelers blow off and it goes up in a burst of flame. A Virtual version of it is fought in the Virtual Zone.
