[edit] Power ups

• After the initial wave, a set of three two-headed wolves will approach from the right; the third contains a powerup.
• When the snakes start appearing, a set of wolves will approach from the right. The third containing the power up will be directly behind the second wolf.
• After you encounter the purple ground bird (which smashes the small column), a set of wolves will attack from behind.

[edit] Boss

Your beast form is a dragon, which can launch a projectile attack, or make an area attack.

The stage boss will transform into a plant-like creature with eyes. It will launch eyes at you, which are generally stunned when attacked and are only suppressed by sustained fire. To defeat the enemy, shoot the main eye between its volleys of attacks.
