Dust Egg is the seventh boss from Thunder Force IV.
Details[]
Dust Egg initially appears as a worm-like monster. During the first phase of the fight it only crawls along the ground, scattering debris all around. Some small turrets may come from the debris and attach to the floor or ceiling. After taking enough damage it will rise from the ground, revealing itself to be a mechanical creature. On this phase it moves erratically around the screen, constantly shooting homing missiles and sometimes shooting fireballs or using its body to smash the player. As far as can tell, it was supposed to hit itself on the ceiling to drop debris, but this seems to have the SFX but not the animations to follow, leading to a hollow ' THud Thud Thud' with nothing occuring for a few seconds, so this might not occur due to memory limitations on animations perhaps .
