Pre-release screenshots would later give us a glimpse of this enemy in battle, showing it located in Booster Pass alongside a Hoten. This critter was also seemingly able to summon miniature versions of itself called 'Hoten'.

Known as 'Sahon', this large cactus sucking on a pacifier was originally conceived as a 'guardian' of a given area, which was a term used for bosses which weren't part of Smithy's Gang and were related to a given area, here the 'Desert'. While no graphics for this enemy survived in the final release of the game, conceptual artwork reveals a design which perfectly lines up with these animations.

However, Yaridovich is considered the final boss of World 4. Drill Bit actually has an entry in the Nintendo Power Player's Guide, where it is listed as being found in World 5 and in the 'Bosses' section. Their value appears between the Sea/Sunken Ship monsters and the Land's End monsters, and this placement, along with their Psychopath quote, suggests that Drill Bits were probably meant to be seen in the Yaridovich battle. There are two values in the battle modifier mode (one for a single Drill Bit, and one for five of them). 'Machine Made' versions of Drill Bit (or potentially Jabit) can also be fought while encountering a Machine Made Yaridovich, but there are no true battles with the actual Drill Bit.
