So now that we have an official render of the final boss monster, a bit more speculating is in order.

First, it has no legs, or at least no visible legs on the render, so it seems like this monster will be immobile. Second, it has what appears to be a mouth with a protruding tounge on the opposite side to the "head" stalks, this probably means that we aren't dealing with a plant. Third, the "head" stalks; those things at the end of the stalks are certainly skulls, and they have glowing eyes. This is odd, since if these really are the creatures heads, why does it have a mouth on its rear end? There also appears to be some kind of blue thing on the main body, it seems likely for this to simply be part of famitsu, but if it is part of the monster, the most likely thing for it to be is the eye. Putting all this together, it seems like its "rear" end with the mouth is actually its front end, and it uses the "head" stalks as decoys, with which to distract its prey, some real animals have markings on the back of their head for a similar purpose (I think). It might use the stalks to "grab" its prey and put it in the main mouth, similar to an elephant's trunk (sorta). But what strikes me is the lack of legs, meaning that the "plant/parasite" theory is more likely to be correct.

My theory is that this monster is an immobile monster rooted at the centre of the stage, and it attacks with the "head" stalks. It might have a pin move where it grabs the hunter with a "head" and shoves them in the main mouth. In all, it could be a similar fight to Yama.
