Criminal Caterpillar

The Criminal Caterpillar is a rare enemy in EarthBound that can be encountered when wandering around the Dusty Dunes Desert. It only knows PSI Fire α. Outside of battle, it runs away from Ness and his party, making it easy to sneak up on and get an auto-win. It gives a great deal of experience.

A tougher version of this enemy is the Master Criminal Worm.
