Template:Boss Arrghus is a recurring Boss in Template:LZS. It serves as the guardian of the second Crystal in the Swamp Palace in A Link to the Past and the Eastern Temple in Four Swords Adventures. Arrghus protects the portrait of the Sage Oren in the Swamp Palace in A Link Between Worlds.
Characteristics
Arrghus is a large, one-eyed jellyfish which is surrounded by several miniature polyps named Arrgi. These Arrgi and the creature's ability to float make it invulnerable to attack. Its method of attack is to send the Arrgi swirling outwards. Arrgi must be pulled away using the Hookshot to defeat them with the Sword. When all of the Arrgi are gone, Arrghus launches itself into the air and attempts to crash straight down upon Link, then it speeds across the shallow water of the room. It will also shoot needle thin lasers at the ground, which will create huge explosions, throwing columns of water into the air. In this state, it is unprotected and can be attacked with Link's Sword or other weapons. After each hit, it attempts to crush Link from above again, or shoots more lasers at him. After its destruction in A Link to the Past, it leaves behind a Heart Container and Link is presented with the second Crystal in which one of the Seven Maidens is imprisoned. In A Link Between Worlds, it will leave a Heart Container as well as the portrait of the Sage Oren.
Varieties
Orange Arrghus
In A Link to the Past & Four Swords, an orange Arrghus is the guardian of the green Four Sword shard in the Palace of the Four Sword. Instead of Arggi, Arrghus is surrounded Bari, which will sometimes shock Link when he pulls them away from their host. This Arrghus is also stronger, faster, and sturdier, and once the Bari are removed, it is able to both change direction while skating around, as well as summon swarms of Kyameron.
This Argghus reappears in A Link Between Worlds as the boss of the Template:C. It is able to fire lasers which boil the water underneath Link.
Stone Arrghus
Stone Arrghus appears as the boss of Eastern Temple in Four Swords Adventures, with a look more similar to its Majora's Mask counterpart, the Wart. To defeat this stone version of the boss, Link must use his Boomerang to pull the rocks to him and then hack them with the Sword. Once all the small rocks have been destroyed, the gigantic eye starts attacking Link. When defeated, it disintegrates and leave Link with the Yellow Maiden.
Non-canon Appearances
A Link to the Past Comic
A creature resembling Arrghus is featured in Chapter 9 of the A Link to the Past comic. Fought in the Swamp Palace just like in the game, the monster is shown as a bright red jellyfish that attacks with tentacles, but no eyeballs are shown. In the comic, as Link makes his way to the imprisoned Maiden, a large, tentacled monster attacks him. He thrusts the Master Sword into the monster and defeats the creature, which spits out Link from inside and gives him a chance to destroy the floating Crystal where the Maiden is.
Etymology
It is likely that the name "Arrghus" is a reference to Argus Panoptes, an all-seeing hundred-eyed giant from Greek mythology.
The Majora's Mask mini-boss Wart shares Arrghus's Japanese name, Template:Japanese.
