Attack the Tail	comment	Attacking the tail for extra damage. Common in cartoons, especially for cats. In video games, cutting off a creature's tail, especially a dragon's tail, often rewards you with a bonus weapon or crafting materials. In some cases however, you have to hit a creature's tail in order to damage it. Typically a form of Amusing Injuries. Compare Aim for the Horn, Groin Attack, Literal Ass-Kicking, Pain to the Ass. See also In the Back, for a more general form of attacking a creature from behind. Not to be confused with attacking with tails.

Likewise, the tail is also the weak point for Darkhammer, a heavily-armored Lizalfos and the Mini-Boss of Snowpeak Ruins guarding the Ball and Chain; doing so with Mortal Draw or Jump Strike will kill it in one hit.

Attack the Tail / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter: One of the penultimate tactics in the games against any big monster with a tail is to attack the tail enough that it gets cut off/cracked/broken, among other parts of their body. Doing so rewards you with more rare items and creates more openings in the monster's defenses (like their tail attack's range get shorter, or they flinch more when an attack hits their tail stump.)

Attack the Tail / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: In Dragon Ball Z, the Saiyans' tails are their weak point. If you hold onto their tails, they are in so much pain it immobilizes them (e.g., Goku, Gohan, and Raditz). Subverted later, when it turns out that Vegeta and Nappa don't have this shortcoming (because of their training). When the Z Fighters made a break for their tails, it ended up backfiring because it didn't immobilize the Saiyans like they expected, leaving them open targets. Played straight later, though, when Yajirobe cuts off Vegeta's tail to return him to human form after he'd transformed into his Great Ape form. Goku managed to overcome this weakness in Dragon Ball, long before Vegeta was introduced. It's odd how Krillin didn't remember this when he faced them, though it's possible it's simply one of the things Akira 'forgot' as he wrote the beginning of DBZ. In a more amusing case, when Gohan was left in the wilderness to fend for himself he was occasionally hunted by a tyrannosaur, which he managed to fend off by removing the end of its tail. After he had taken a few levels in badass, he turned the tables (or the tails) by chasing the poor dinosaur and cutting steaks off its tail for his dinner. Krillin cuts off Frieza's tail with a Destructo Disc when he is about to kill Gohan. Goku does this by biting Frieza's tail during their fight on Namek, and he does the same thing to Beerus's tail in Dragon Ball Super. Also in Dragon Ball Super, the end of Frieza's tail is cut off by a stray attack during the final fight against Jiren.

Attack the Tail / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Moldorm in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and A Link Between Worlds has a weak point (usually shaped like a flower or a bulb) in its tail. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Dodongos have to be attacked from the tail, since the rest of their bodies is too enduring to take damage from the sword. Tailpasarans, a bobbit worm-like enemy found in Jabu-Jabu's Belly. Its Enemy Scan mentions that the tail is its weak point, but it's best to attack it from a distance, such as with the Boomerang, since doing so on contact will deal damage to Link in return. However, the Spin Attack is the only sword technique that can defeat a Tailpasaran without dealing damage to Link. The wolfos, humanoid wolf-like creatures, can be attacked in other ways, but an attack in the tail kills them instantly. They even cover their tails with their hands if you aren't quick about it. In order to defeat Ganon, Link must strike at its tail in order to weaken it enough to reach its head for the finishing blow. Ganon can turn quickly to hide its tail, so Link must stun it using various means, or just roll under its legs. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Dodongos return in this game, and they have to be attacked from the tail. Twinmold are two giant centipedes whose only weak points are the head and the tail. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons: Syger (a rolling tiger), the Mini-Boss of the fifth dungeon, Unicorn's Cave, has to be hit in the globe at the end of its tail to be damaged. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: All three forms of Puppet Ganon share one weakness; a glowing blue ball on the tail that can be struck by Light Arrows. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Like in the Nintendo 64 games, Dodongos can only be killed if Link attacks their tails or throws a bomb at them, though this time you're also given the option of shooting an arrow into their mouth. Likewise, the tail is also the weak point for Darkhammer, a heavily-armored Lizalfos and the Mini-Boss of Snowpeak Ruins guarding the Ball and Chain; doing so with Mortal Draw or Jump Strike will kill it in one hit.

Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel have the Dino Piranhas (both the regular and the Fiery) and Peewee Piranha, bosses that Mario can defeat only by attacking the bulb at the end of their tails, knocking it up to strike their head. Moreover, in the first game, during the Bowser fights, you have to let Bowser try to crush you on the blue glass, where he ends up burning his tail after breaking it and exposing the lava, at which point Mario has to attack Bowser's tail while it is on fire to damage him. Paper Mario: The Origami King: The Earth Vellumental can only be harmed by striking its exposed extremities, but is particularly vulnerable to blows against its weak, tender tail.

Attack the Tail / int_ae050a9f	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Dodongos have to be attacked from the tail, since the rest of their bodies is too enduring to take damage from the sword. Tailpasarans, a bobbit worm-like enemy found in Jabu-Jabu's Belly. Its Enemy Scan mentions that the tail is its weak point, but it's best to attack it from a distance, such as with the Boomerang, since doing so on contact will deal damage to Link in return. However, the Spin Attack is the only sword technique that can defeat a Tailpasaran without dealing damage to Link. The wolfos, humanoid wolf-like creatures, can be attacked in other ways, but an attack in the tail kills them instantly. They even cover their tails with their hands if you aren't quick about it. In order to defeat Ganon, Link must strike at its tail in order to weaken it enough to reach its head for the finishing blow. Ganon can turn quickly to hide its tail, so Link must stun it using various means, or just roll under its legs.

Attack the Tail / int_b2fba3e0	comment	The Ultra Series loves this trope. If a monster has a tail which it uses for executing a Tail Slap, chances are that it will be severed after a lengthy battle against the Ultra. Gomora from Ultraman is dishing out a Curb-Stomp Battle on Ultraman, until the SSP blasts its tail off, allowing Ultraman to turn the battle around. King Crab from Ultraman Ace has its entire tail shredded by Ace's energy drill, which flies all over the place in chunks. Neosauraus from Ultraman Dyna, whose energy blasts can home in on targets, have his tail grabbed by Dyna and used as an impromptu shield, where the monster's beam ends up severing its own tail. The resurrected Gomora in Ultraman Max get its tail sliced off by the Max Slugger, in a Call-Back to the first Gomora. Said tail gains a life on its own however and blocks Max's Finishing Move on Gomora necessitating Max to try another strategy. Maga-orochi from Ultraman Orb had its tail grabbed by Orb (in Thunder Breaster Form) and forcefully sliced off. Becomes a Chekhov's Gun later when the severed tail gets collected by Juggler into creating a new monster, Zeppandon. Segmeger from Ultraman Taiga, while battling Ultraman Titas, have its tail forcefully pulled off. Ultraman Decker brought back yet another Gomora, and for the third time this one have it's tail severed by GUTS-Select during it's rampage. However, nearby Spheres immediately assimilates the weakened Gomora and turns it into a new monster called Sphere Gomora, as well as regenerating the broken tail.

If it's shot enough, it'll be stunned and more tails will appear, and once these weak points have sustained enough damage, the machine will be destroyed. Scrappers are light vehicles decked in frontal armor, but are completely exposed from the back. If the shields take enough fire, it will be completely immobilized for several seconds, at which point players can head to the back of the craft and kill its exposed driver. Steel Eels function as long, winding, moving barriers, and can splat a player in just two hits. While almost the entire craft is completely impervious to any damage, the weak point on the machine is its driver at the very back end, and if they are killed, the rest of the contraption will be demolished.

In A Dog and Pony Show, Spike drills Spot's tail with his own, drawing blood. In Green Isn't Your Color, overjoyed that Photo Finish seemingly wanted her to be her star, Rarity flips out (despite stating in the previous episode that ladies do not do so) and jumps up and down, accidentally stomping on Spike's tail repeatedly. While clearly painful for Spike, all he can think about is how much he loves Rarity. In The Last Roundup, Derpy accidentally strikes Rainbow Dash's tail with lightning. Subverted in many instances where the ponies bite each other's tails (most notably Applejack biting Rainbow Dash's tail a total of nine times in the series), given that this does not cause pain, nor is their intent to do so, but usually this is a method of pulling or holding each other back (in one case, in the second episode, Fluttershy bites Rarity's tail to save her from falling off a cliff, and Rainbow Dash does the same to Twilight the same episode, and Applejack to Pinkie in another). There is an aggressive moment, when Chrysalis bites Starlight's tail to throw her, but even then it is unlikely that Starlight's tail felt any pain.

In both instances, this causes extra damage to the machine and if the tail or tail component is removed rather than destroyed it can be harvested for resources. In the case of machines with tail-weapons it typically removes a powerful melee or sometimes ranged attack from the machine.

Attack the Tail / int_f724b70d	comment	Usually left alone 99% of the time, occasionally Code Lyoko's Odd's tail will get hit by a monster's laser on Lyoko. In "Is Anybody out There?", a Tarantula gets Odd right on the tip, causing him to freeze up and moan in pain for several seconds. Soon the flashing tip goes out on its own.

Attack the Tail / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls: This is a way to get cool weapons (normally axes and swords). If you're fighting any giant boss or miniboss with a tail (usually a dragon), you can almost always cut it off and get a special weapon out of it. It also greatly reduces the range of their Tail Slap attack if they have one (which they usually do).

Attack the Tail / int_fe389b8e	comment	Tail Star: This is literally the only way to fight the Queen and her Knights; they each have a supernatural tail grafted to the back of their head, giving them divine powers, but also serves as their weak point; slicing off the tail usually results in death or insanity.
