Onox

Onox (ゴルゴン, Gorgon) is one of two main antagonists from the game Oracle of Seasons. He is the General of Darkness, and wishes to ruin the land of Holodrum in accordance with the wishes of his master, Twinrova.

General of Darkness
By capturing the Oracle of Seasons, Din (Oracle), Onox was able to submerge the Temple of Seasons into Subrosia and throw the flow of the seasons into chaos, resulting in the damage of the land. To stop this, Link set out on a quest to obtain the Essences of Nature, which would allow him to enter Onox's Castle on the Northern Peak and battle him.

Before Link could defeat Onox, Onox chose to reveal his true form to Link, the form of Dark Dragon. Although larger than anything Link had fought in his journey, Link was able to defeat the General of Darkness, but not before the Flame of Destruction was lit.

Strategy
Onox deals out massive physical damage with his attacks, so it is in Link's best interest to dodge. His armor also blocks normal attacks with the sword, so Link must use spin attacks to get through. Onox's range of attack normally doesn't reach beyond the Ball & Chain Trooper, but he is also capable of bringing down a barrage of rocks from the ceiling, and summoning up to four tornadoes. Partway into the battle, Onox will summon a frozen Din as his shield. The Rod of Seasons must be used to knock Din away, or Link will be electrocuted whenever he attacks Onox. Besides this, Onox's attack pattern hasn't changed. Din, however, will always drift back to Onox eventually. After Onox is defeated again, he will transform into Dark Dragon. From here, Link must jump onto Dark Dragon's hands, then attack the gem on Dark Dragon's head.

Trivia

 * The Gerudo Symbol appears on the chest plate of Onox's armor.
 * Onox also bears a striking resemblance to the Iron Knuckles from Ocarina of Time, despite the fact he wears golden armor instead of white or black and uses a flail instead of an axe.
 * According to the Oracle of Seasons manga, Onox's motto is "to be a gentleman at all times".
 * Onox's name is misspelled in the Oracle of Ages linked game as Knox, when Twinrova announces that she will not fall like Veran or 'Knox'.
 * Dark Dragon is possibly one of the largest bosses Link has ever fought, along with Molgera, Morpheel, Eox and Twinmold. Doubtlessly, he is the largest encountered in the Oracle series.
