'''Moldorms''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are usually small land-dwelling creatures that are like long worms. In more recent games, they have taken the appearance of a more centipede-like enemy instead of worm-like. In some games, Moldorms appear as [[Boss]]es.

They can be defeated by slashing one part of their body at a time, until they have finally been reduced to one piece, at which time a final slash will do them in. In the last [[Level 9: Death Mountain|dungeon]] of the game, Moldorms are replaced by a tougher enemy known as a [[Lanmola]].
