Tusk Attack

A SnowHorn uses Tusk Attack.

An EarthWalker demonstrates Tusk Attack to Fox McCloud.

The Tusk Attack is a move executable by SnowHorns and EarthWalkers, and is, as the name implies, an attack using their tusks. The Tusk Attack plays an important role in three parts of the game. In the first instance of its use, a SnowHorn helps Fox McCloud and Prince Tricky get deeper into the DarkIce Mines by smashing down gates and walls and even some enemies. In the second instance, an EarthWalker in captivity on Dragon Rock, once freed by Fox, informs him that each of the patrolling robots on Dragon Rock is invincible due to their shields. The only way to destroy the robots is to run around the area and smash rock walls covering the generators for the robots' shields.
