The first time I “encountered” one of these, I didn’t even see it. It was near / under the Morok shrine (that mini floating island near the Floret Sandbar). Just as I was halfway done climbing the roots, the sky went red (during daytime), eerie music started, and I was like “Huh, seems like the Panic Blood Moon is still a thing…” and just continued climbing. It didn’t occur to me at all to look down so I missed that enemy completely. When I jumped down after activating the terminal (not doing the shrine yet) the music was normal again and I wondered what that “Dark Clump” is doing on the ground. I figured it must have been a Panic Blood Moon meteor or something? An item that fell from the blood red sky?
…so of course the next time I heard that music, I just stopped and looked upwards, determined to find that “meteor”, and almost had a heart attack when a malice-infested “Death Hand” grabbed Link from offscreen <__< … oh the joy of playing games blind and drawing dumb conclusions …
It took me almost a full playthrough before I dared to fight those things, and yes, I too used the “carpet bomb with multishot bow” approach… and then almost had a heart attack again once I saw the name above the health bar of the “follow-up” enemy, lol. The “second phase” is still easier IMHO.
That monster scared me so much I immediately switched to map and beamed to some shrine whenever I encountered that abomination. Was pretty proud when I didn’t run away and (barely) made it to high ground.
Tldr: I’m an oldish, weathered guy scared to shit by some pixels 🙄
