Manhandla is the boss of the Ancient Ruins, the sixth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. As with previous incarnations of the monster, it resembles a large prehensile plant with four fireball-spitting appendages connected to a central body. In this game, the appendages are large red mouths. It bears some resemblance to Pirahna Plants from the Super Mario Bros. game series.
[edit] Battle
The mouths are vulnerable only to attacks from the Magic Boomerang. Link must continually throw the boomerang at the mouths, which are only susceptible to damage when they are open. When all of the mouths have been destroyed, Manhandla will move very quickly around the room in a figure 8 pattern. Link can then use his sword to defeat the main body of the monster. For his trouble, he receives a Heart Container and the Blowing Wind.

[edit] In the manga
Manhandla appears as an out of dungeon boss. Depicted as a plant with several heads it attacks Link, Piyoko and Ricky. Manhandla eats Piyoko but Ricky uses his tornado punch to free him. Link proceeds to use his sword but Manhandla's bark is too thick. When Link is trapped by the vines Manhandla produces, he finds an Ember Seed and throws it in to the creature’s mouth setting it on fire from the inside and killing it.
