Description
A spirit of lightning has taken the form of this giant dragon. Making its home in the Faron region, it's said to have served the Spring of Courage since ancient times. An old saying goes, "The dragon ascends to the heavens as the sun begins to set," but nobody has seen this in the current age. The electricity that coats its body makes it dangerous to get near, but Farosh bears no ill will toward people.

Farosh is one of three roaming Dragons in Hyrule, the others being Naydra and Dinraal.[5] She is the servant of the Spring of Courage, and she has been described as a Spirit of Lightning that takes the form of a Dragon.[5] According to old legends, Farosh flies into the sky when the sun begins to set, but no modern accounts of such an occurrence exist.[5]

While she cannot be defeated, Farosh does not actively try to harm Link. However, if Link gets too close, he will be damaged by the Electricity surrounding her body.[5] This can be avoided by wearing the Thunder Helm or the full Rubber Armor Set that has been enhanced twice by a Great Fairy, both of which grant Link the Unshockable Set Bonus. Farosh will drop different Materials if Link shoots her with a Bow. Depending on where Farosh is shot, she will drop a Shard of Farosh's Horn, Shard of Farosh's Fang, Farosh's Claw or Farosh's Scale. After being shot, the Dragon will disappear until the next in-game day.

Farosh's Scale can be dropped into the Spring of Courage to reveal a hidden Ancient Shrine.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

As part of the "Floria Bridge Protection" Quest, Merchants have become fearful of crossing Floria Bridge, since they could be shocked by Farosh's Electricity as she passes by.[4] After the Warriors provide Electricity-resistant Materials to the Merchants, they begin to travel over Floria Bridge again without having to worry about Farosh.[6]
