Enemies and Bosses / Enemy - Cyclops Soldier
Hitotsume Gasa
A Genma named for its single bulging eye and its grotesquely distended, umbrella-like head. Though it acts on pure instinct, attacking and eating its victims without mercy, it is not entirely mindless, and even shows some ability to communicate with its fellows.

Moves and counters
Attack patterns and practical responses for recognizing the enemy's punish windows.
| Move | Pattern | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Head slam | Uses its broad umbrella-like head in a close-range strike. | Leave the impact point, then punish from the side. |
| Body rush | Drives its weight forward to close distance. | Move off the line of travel and do not chase until it stops. |
| Bite | Attacks at very close range with its mouth. | Avoid remaining directly in front after blocking its first attack. |
