Geldman

The Geldman (ゲルドマン, Gerudoman) is a desert-faring creature featured in A Link to the Past and Four Swords Adventures. Hiding just beneath the hot sands, the Geldman quickly surfaces and pursues when a foe approaches, only to retreat back under the sand.

Its name is similar to that of the Geldarm, another desert-faring creature. In Japanese, "Geld" is read the same as "Gerudo", suggesting a connection between the sand monsters Geldarm and Geldman, and the desert or beach-dwelling Gerudo race featured in later games. This connection is lost in translation.
