The Tainted Insect (Japanese: 魔蝕虫) is the boss of Table Mountain in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer, appearing on floor 30, Waterfall Cavern. Defeating the Tainted Insect, releasing the Golden Condor, and watching the credits constitutes completing the main adventure of  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer, after which bonus dungeons and other features are unlocked.

After defeating the Tainted Insect, the top middlemost wall in the room will collapse when walking next to it, and the first time the above room is entered, there is a glistening web-bound bundle, where the Golden Condor is captive.

Koppa's dialogue before entering Waterfall Cavern for the first time:

Koppa: Brrr.... This place gives me the creeps!

I'm counting on you, buddy!
