'''Omfak''' is a shape-shifting, guardian creature who oversees the [[Shrine of Gamelon]] in ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]''. In battle, Omfak is known to shoot projectiles and morph its likeness into that of a wolf, a fire-spitting lion, and a pair of gigantic, exaggerated lips. During one of the title's cartoon cutscenes, it claims that "whatever I see, I will devour", and demonstrates this motto by killing and eating a nearby bird. After Omfak is defeated at the hands of [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], the foe explodes into a flock of black birds. Omfak is the equivalent of [[Lupay (Boss)|Lupay]] from ''[[Link: The Faces of Evil]]'', and also bears marginal resemblance to [[Glutko (Boss)|Glutko]], both in its gluttonous behavior and significance to the plot.
==Biography==
Omfak is a minion of [[Ganon]]. He is a gluttonous, shape-shifting creature who oversees the Shrine of Gamelon where he guards the [[Wand of Gamelon (Item)|Wand of Gamelon]].<ref name=quote1 /> He is able to morph his likeness between three forms: a [[wolf]], lion, and a pair of gigantic, exaggerated lips. He claims to devour anything he sees, and demonstrates this by killing and eating a bird. After [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] defeats him, he explodes into a flock of black birds.


==Strategy==
==Characteristics==
During the battle, Omfak will rotate through three different forms, however, only when in the "lips" form will it be vulnerable to damage. In its wolf form, Omfak procures star-shaped lasers, and when in lion form, fireballs are its projectile of choice. Typically in ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon'', only one strike of the sword is enough to dispel a boss, and Omfak is no different.
During the battle, Omfak rotates between his three forms. In his wolf form, Omfak procures star-shaped lasers. In his lion form, he shoots fireballs. His "lips" form is the only period where he is vulnerable to the [[Sword]], and is defeated in a single strike.
 
==Trivia==
*Omfak is similar to {{TFoE}} boss [[Glutko (Boss)|Glutko]]. Both are plot-significant bosses who guard items at a Shrine that are necessary to defeat Ganon, and are known for their gluttonous behavior. He is also similar to the boss [[Lupay (Boss)|Lupay]], as both are penultimate bosses before Ganon that resemble anthropomorphic wolves.
*Omfak is a unique enemy in {{TWoG|-}} as he is the only boss in the game who does not share his AI with another enemy.
