Armos Warrior

The Armos Warrior is a breed of Armos that lurks in Skull Dungeon waiting to stop any intruders that dare cross its path in Oracle of Ages. It boasts a huge shield that protects it from any damage from the intruder and a sword that it directs seemingly telepathically. Link manages to destroy the monster's shield by going behind the beast before it can change the direction of its sword. After the shield is destroyed, Link uses the same trick to slay the monster.

Trivia
The Armos Warrior is similar in appearance to the Armos Knights from A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening.
