The lack of second and third heads make me think no.

That and SS2 seems to generally take the wise decision of "okay, we pissed around with Shining series cameos more than enough in SS1, and got swamped with letter bombs as a result... lets try and avoid using any major canon elemens from the series this tiume, m'kay?"

Huh, never knew about this boss. One of these days I've got to man up and give Advance Mode a shot...

I fought this boss once with the ninja. It was a while ago. I like how everything shakes when it walks.
I heard that it can drop ores, too, so keeping the egg intact during normal mode is much more advisable.

I prefer to destroy the egg. The boss may drop an ore while the egg will definitely drop three of them. Unless I'm using a spell-caster, I really want to get three Orihalcums at least in early advance mode. As a spell-caster I'll fight it though.

It may drop an ore, but it's far from guaranteed. The egg is however guaranteed to drop three ores. As for the level, it's the level 2 Orihalcums which makes the soul weapons. Further, I tend to use the Orihalcums to make SP draining weapons in which case the quality doesn't matter.
