Mole Playing Rough

EarthBound Player's Guide description
"The Moles Playing Rough generally hang around in caves, where their vision is an advantage. Attack them aggressively."

Trivia
Earthbound spawns enemies using spawn boxes that have a certain percentage chance to spawn the enemies listed inside of them. In the Desert, Deep Darkness and in Summers, there are 3 unique enemy boxes containing a 100% chance of spawning a Mole Playing Rough. The exact reason for this is unknown, but it likely has to do with error handling. See Game Over Glitch for more details.
