''Rather than waiting for prey to fall into its trap, this hyperevolved ant lion jumps out at enemies, attempting to crush them in its pincers. However, Girin leaves itself open to attack after this lunge and will retreat in surprise if hit.'' | |||
Like in its last appearance, a Girin will lie in wait for Pit to approach its position, which its oversized jaws give away. It will jump out of the ground when Pit gets close enough to it, but if it is hit while lunging or misses its attack, it will be knocked on its back, leaving it defenseless until it can right itself and burrow to safety. | |||
