Tanuko (タヌコー Tanukō ) is one of two Stage 4 bosses in Sexy Parodius.
Description[]
A large tanuki with what appear to be gloves and a mask. He also wears a green bottle around his body and has large testicles behind said bottle.
Attack patterns[]
When the battle begins, Tanuko will run to the left and wrap around to the right side of the screen. He will summon rocks to hit the player, sometimes dropping a breakable machine. Occasionally, he will walk to the left and wrap around to the right side of the screen as he did in the beginning.
If the player shoots him a number of times in the testicles, he will turn into a female tanuki and shoot three homing kisses at the player.

Trivia[]
- His exaggerated look, according to Japanese beliefs, is common for tanukis. Examples can be seen in game series like Pocky & Rocky or Ganbare Goemon.
- Tanuko is the only boss in the Parodius series who has two hitboxes.
