{{Term/Store|Aruroda|Arurodas|Series, TAoL|plural}} are {{Wp|scorpion}}-like enemies in {{TAoL}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 164}}</ref>
 
==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.
 
==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.

==Trivia==
==Gallery==
*It is interesting that "Rōdā" is the Japanese name for [[Lowder]], suggesting a link between the two monsters. However, it should be noted that the katakana for "Lowder", {{Japanese|ローダー|Rōdā}}, is different from Aruroda's spelling, {{Japanese|アルローダ|Arurōda}}.

*These enemies have elsewhere been given the unofficial name "Skettlar".<ref>[http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda/the-adventure-of-link/aol-enemies/ AoL  Enemies at zeldauniverse.net]</ref>
