It can only be struck when its single, large eye is open, and it shoots fireballs from its tail.
==Characteristics==
Arurodas usually keeps their eyes closed and often charge directly at [[Link]], casting fireballs from their tails. These fireballs are normally unblockable and require the use of the [[Reflect Spell]]. Arurodas can only be harmed by attacking their single eye when open.


It is interesting that "Roda" is the Japanese name for [[Lowder]], suggesting a link between the two monsters.
==Nomenclature==
In Japanese, Aruroda's name ({{Romanize|アルローダ|Arurōda}}) is similar to the name of [[Lowder]] ({{Romanize|ローダー|Rōdā}}), suggesting a link between the two. While "Arurōda" does lack one of the {{Wp|chōonpu}} present in "Rōdā", this is not unusual; for example, [[Leever]] has been named {{Romanize|リーバー|Rībā}} and {{Romanize|リーバ|Rība}} in different games.
