The Sharp Cross (シャープクロス, Shāpu Kurosu^?) is a recurring enemy in the Salamander series. It is a giant fang-like obstacle that comes in and out from the environment.

Description

The Sharp Cross is an indestructible enemy that acts more as an environmental obstacle. It makes its first appearance in the first stage of Salamander, Bionic Germ. It is a large fang-like appendage that juts in and out from the lining of certain tissue that's meant to help aid the process of digestion by grinding larger particles of food into smaller pieces, like teeth.

Attack patterns

They are unintelligent and move at a constant rate, generally up and down, but they are large and can create difficult navigational situations for the Vic Viper. They can't be destroyed or stopped, and instead should be avoided.

In Salamander III, the Sharp Crosses remain static and are in a state of decay, thus merely serving as destructible obstacles. However, in loops 2 and beyond, there is a regenerating variant of the Sharp Cross that pops out like an erupting adult tooth and can only be destroyed by also destroying an accompanying Urg.

Anime

The Sharp Cross also appears in the Salamander anime series.
