Zandick II (Japanese: ザンディックⅡ, Hepburn: Zandikku Ⅱ?) is one of the final bosses from Darius Force, appearing at Zone L. It is shaped after an Elasmosaurus.
Appearance
Zandick II has the form of a mechanical elasmosaurus. It has a long segmented neck ending in a sharp reptilian head with green eyes, and a bulky body supported by strong mechanical limbs. The design features gray metallic armor with red and orange lights, blending the shape of a prehistoric marine reptile with futuristic machinery.
Gameplay
Once Zandick II appears on the right, the screen starts scrolling to the left, forcing the player to navigate through a small cave passageway. It alternates between lobbing explosives from its body, breathing fire from its mouth and swinging its neck to destroy the terrain. After a while it will also shoot a barrage of lasers from its body. Only its head is vulnerable.
