{{Term|TPHD|Argorok}} is a red-orange wyvern covered in black armor, terrorizing the [[Oocca]] and wreaking havoc on the City in the Sky.{{Fact}} As [[Link]] explores the City, Argorok can be seen flying overhead in the sky, sent by [[Zant]].  

 

 

==Other Appearances==

==={{HW|-}}===

In {{HW}}, {{Plural|HWDE|Argorok}} appear as {{Plural|HWDE|Giant Boss|link}} that are encountered in several [[Legend Mode]] and [[Adventure Mode]] stages. In Legend Mode, one appears in "[[The Shadow King]]" and two appear in "[[Liberation of the Triforce]]".

During battle, {{Plural|HWDE|Argorok}} stay in flight, making them unreachable by most attacks. They attack by charging, kicking up whirlwinds with their wings, and breathing a stream of fire that also surrounds them. While creating whirlwinds, the tip of the {{Term|HWDE|Argorok}}'s tail glows blue, making it vulnerable to the {{Term|HWDE|Hookshot|link}}, which will latch on and pull the {{Term|HWDE|Argorok}} down, revealing its {{Term|HWDE|Weak Point Gauge}}. The {{Term|HWDE|Hookshot}} can also be used while they are breathing fire, but only when their tails are glowing blue, otherwise, the flames will burn the Warrior attempting it.

In "The Shadow King," the Argorok has a unique strategy as it first appears too high in flight for the Hookshot to reach. It appears at different times, where it takes over a [[Keep]] it flies over while attacking the Allied Base with fire balls. Either [[Lana]] or [[Midna]] must be escorted to these Keeps to create a [[Magic Circle]], which upon activation, summons chains that wrap around Argorok. However, it breaks free and temporarily retreats before appearing again shortly thereafter. When the [[Great Fairy]] is summoned later in the battle, she pulls the [[Moon (Object)|Moon]] down and slams it into Argorok, which knocks it down, where it can be fought normally.

When defeated, {{Plural|HWDE|Argorok}} usually drops the {{Plural|HWDE|Argorok's Embers|link}} Silver [[Material]] or the {{Term|HWDE|Argorok's Stone|link}} Gold Material.

Argorok is a play on "{{wp|Argives|Argo}}", an archaic term for the Ancient Greeks, whose architecture the City in the Sky resembles, and "rok", a term used in the series for dragon enemies. It may also be a play on [[Kargarok]], a similar, more common enemy that resembles a bird.
