Bacoon is one of Arwingpedia:Andross's Arwingpedia:bioweapons in the form of a giant clam, and boss of Arwingpedia:Aquas in Arwingpedia:Star Fox 64. Once stationed on Aquas, it began polluting the ocean world. The Arwingpedia:Star Fox Team was sent to investigate this activity. It's implied that Bacoon is the reason as to why Aquas was now a 100% ocean world and why the islands/ancient civilization sunk below the waves.
Attacks
The Bacoon attacks by barraging Arwingpedia:Fox's Arwingpedia:Blue Marine with pearl bombs and artificial segmented pearl creatures. It has three barnacle mortars that allow its incredible line of attack.
Weakness
When Bacoon first appears, it will reveal its tendons. These tendons must be disconnected by torpedoes. Before the tendons are destroyed, the player may also choose to destroy the three barnacle mortars on Bacoon's shell. If the player is going for the Aquas' Medal, it is very advisable to destroy them, for they each add a hit +4. Once the tendons are destroyed, Bacoon's top shell will collapse, revealing its eye. The eye must be destroyed by torpedoes and is often shielded by a flap of some sort. The flap must be damaged by regular lasers until it disappears, revealing the eye, then a homing torpedo must be fired upon the eye. In addition, the pearl bombs tend to block the torpedoes, and the more damage Bacoon takes, the more pearls it shoots.
Trivia
It is widely believed that when Bacoon is defeated, the pollution throughout Aquas goes away. Category:Bosses Category:Bioweapons Category:List of Star Fox 64 Bosses
