Morpheel


 * Not to be confused with Series:, the OoT: of the OoT: in .

is the TP: of the TP: in. Morpheel contains the third piece of the TP:.

Physical Appearance
Morpheel is a large, eel-like monster that lives underwater. It has a slender body that is covered in red and green scales. Its body is segmented into vertebrae-like sections that are largest near the head and taper towards the tail. Each of these sections have a set of longer fins that come out of its back and underbelly. The tail has a large fan-like fin. Two other similar fins are located on opposite sides of the head. On its head, Morpheel has a mouth-like opening with twelve sharp, white barbs. This protects a smaller, sphincter-like mouth that has finer barbs on its surface. This inner mouth can produce TP:. Morpheel has eight long, iridescent tentacles around its head. A ring-like light occasionally flows through them, but the tentacles are not electrified. Morpheel has a single eyeball that is free to move throughout each tentacle. This eyeball can rest in a socket on Morpheel's back near its head, too.

Morpheel is one of the largest known members of the Series: family.

Mannerisms and Weaknesses
Morpheel is not as aggressive in its battle with Link, in contrast to TP: and TP:. Morpheel is defensive and protective of its eyeball. Morpheel shields its eyeball inside its tentacles and tries to repel Link with Bombfish while its body is buried in the sand. When swimming freely in the chamber, Morpheel puts its eyeball into the socket on its back. The tentacles on the top side of the head drag behind and cover the eyeball as it swims. The tentacles may occasionally reach out at Link to grab him, but only if he is close. If they do, the tentacle brings Link to Morpheel's mouth. Morpheel swallows and damages him, and spits him back out after a moment.

Encounter
TP: enters from the top of TP:'s water chamber and sinks to the bottom, where he finds a single tentacle waving back and forth in the water. When TP: touches the sand, an eyeball rises up through the tentacle, looks at him, and returns below the sand. The ground shakes and seven other tentacles emerge from the sand. Between them, Morpheel's mouth appears.

To defeat TP:'s first form, TP: equips the TP: and avoids TP: that are released from its mouth. The eyeball moves between the different tentacles. Link uses the TP: to grab and bring the eyeball close for TP: attacks. After enough damage is dealt, the eye returns to the mouth.

After two rounds of close attacks, Morpheel swallows the eyeball and rises into the chamber. The eyeball now sits in a small socket near the head on its backside. Link latches onto the eyeball using the TP:. This queues a Critical Point and Link attacks the eyeball with his sword while standing on Morpheel's back. After some time, TP: shakes Link off, and he repeats this process until TP: is defeated. In its last moments, TP: wails, swims around the chamber, and levels several pillars. TP: eventually crashes into and punctures the outer wall, which drains the water in the chamber.

Upon defeating TP:, TP: receives the third and final TP: and a TP:.

Nomenclature
TP:'s name is a combination of morph- and eel, sharing the prefix with TP:, a similar boss in.

Trivia
There are several notable similarities between TP: and TP:.
 * Both are the boss of the Water dungeon in their respective games.
 * Both have an eye-like weakness that is protected by and removed from a membrane-like object during the fight.
 * Both are defeated using a retractable device (i.e. TP: or TP:).
