Lost Planet 2 screens

Capcom has dropped new screens of another end of level boss that's bound to cause you a few problems in Lost Planet 2, depending on what difficulty you opt for.

"As you know, Lost Planet 2 is full of extremely deadly bosses, like the Gordiant, Red Eye, and mysteriously named Akrid X," says Capcom. "But what about some of the new smaller akrid? Since the the planet of EDN III is undergoing some drastic environmental changes, some new akrid have emerged. Among them is the Defolma, a smaller akrid, but still a very big threat to snow pirates."

The profile continued, "The Defolma is very octopus like, with 6 arms and a flexible body. It can go almost anywhere, even into tiny drainage pipes where it will wait for something to eat to come along. At the top of it's head is a mouth, which is perfect for gobbling up any pirates it may encounter.

"The arms of this akrid have many uses, like grabbing prey, blocking attacks, and even electrocuting. It's whip like arms have the ability to pinpoint a target and unleash a flash of electricity, and in confined spaces can catch a number of pirates off guard."
