'''Aruroda''' is a one-eyed [[Wikipedia:scorpion|scorpion]]-like foe in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. It usually keeps it's eye closed, and often charges directly at Link, firing fireballs from its tail. Theses fireballs are normally unblockable and require that Link use the [[Reflect Spell|Reflect]] magic. It can only be harmed by striking it when its single large eye is open, much like a [[Gohma]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*It is interesting that "Rōdā" is the Japanese name for [[Lowder]], suggesting a link between the two monsters. It should be noted that the katakana for "Lowder", {{Japanese|ローダー|Rōdā}}, is slightly different from Aruroda's spelling, {{Japanese|アルローダ|Arurōda}}. The absence of the [[Wikipedia:Chōonpu|chōonpu]] is not unusual, however: [[Leever]], for example, has been listed as both {{Japanese|リーバー|Rībā}} and {{Japanese|リーバ|Rība}} in different games.

*The Aruroda greatly resembles the [[Aracha]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. It's behavior and weakness during battle is also very similar to the elder Aracha, [[Moldarach]], particularly when it loses it's claws.

*Artwork from the Futashiba Guide, which was not created by Nintendo, depicts it with claws that the creature does not have.
