==Characteristics==
==={{TP|-}}===
====Physical Appearance====
The keeper of one of the {{Plural|TPHD|Mirror Shard|link|display=Shards}} of the {{Term|TPHD|Mirror of Twilight|link}}, Armogohma is a massive, armored arachnid. It has eight grey walking legs. These legs have three joints each and end in a white, pike-like barb. These legs have ornate, rectangular grooves in various places, and several white hairs, mainly near the joints. Armogohma also has two large, spiked pedipalps and two interior fangs near its head. The head has four lesser eyes arranged in a square and four tiny forceps underneath its red mouth. Atop the grey thorax of Armogohma is a circular cavity with a large eyeball inside. This red-yellow eyeball is similar in appearance and size to the eyeball of {{Term|TP|Morpheel|link}}. Armogohma protects its eyeball with an eyelid-like closing in the cavity. Armogohma also has a large, hairy abdomen with alternating light and dark grey stripes. At the very back of the abdomen, Armogohma has two small, red spinnerets.
Armogohma's eyeball is the abdomen of a smaller spider, which is revealed at the end of its battle with Link. This spider has four brown walking legs, a spiked head with four red eyes, and two pedipalps. The abdomen has spider web-like appearance on its front side.
====Mannerisms and Weaknesses====
Armogohma is defensive in its battle with Link and has similar mannerisms as {{Term|OoT|Gohma|link}} from {{OoT}}. It spends most of the battle on the ceiling, and scrambles back to the ceiling whenever it is on the ground level. Armogohma protects its eyeball with its eyelid as it walks around. However, when it covers one of the skylights, its eyelid opens, and Armogohma surveys the room with its eyeball. On the ceiling, Armogohma produces eggs from an opening at the back of its abdomen. These eggs fall to the ground and hatch quickly into vicious {{Term|TP|Baby Gohma|link}}. Armogohma also produces a laser-like energy beam from its eyeball that follows Link and injures him if it makes contact.
Armogohma's body only takes significant damage when it is smashed by the stone fist of a {{Term|TP|Dominion Rod|link}}-activated statue. The eyeball of Armogohma is also weak point, though Link cannot deal any damage to it while it is attached to Armogohma's body. Armogohma shrieks after its eyeball is hit or struck with the fist of the stone statue. When the eyeball reverts to its spider form, it is even more defensive and skittish than Armogohma. It scurries away from Link and has no attacks. When hit, the eyeball-spider also shrieks.
====Encounter====

'''Twilit Arachnid: Armogohma''' is the boss of the [[Temple of Time]], Twilight Princess' sixth dungeon. Armogohma is also slightly similar to it's Ocarina of Time counterpart [[Gohma|Queen Gohma]] at first. In this version, Gohma gives the appearance of a frighteningly huge hunter spider. It's name is a [[Wikipedia:portmanteau|portmanteau]] of "Armos"(as in [[Armos Statue]]), and Gohma. Armogohma is considered by some to be the easiest boss to defeat in the game.
|context3= Once struck with the Sword
|quote3= <p>That thing is so heavily armored, your sword just bounces right off...</p><p>It's not just big. It's HUGE! I don't know if any of your items could do much to it, {{Player Name}}...</p>


[[Image:armogohma-2-.jpg|thumb|left]]It appears that the creature is wearing some kind of armour on its main body around its eye. Such an assumption gains strength after the first form of Armogohma is defeated, revealing the "eye" to be a small, independant creature. It is possible that the armored outer shell is simply controlled by the eye, and is somehow related to the [[Armos]] or [[Beamos]], given the name of the creature and the similarity of the laser beam attack to the [[Beamos]]. It is found in the Temple of Time, the sixth dungeon in the game. This version of Gohma is hairy and has eight legs, heavily resembling a huntsman spider or tarantula.
|context5= If Link moves a statue when Armogohma isn't there
|quote5= <p>It doesn't do much good to drop it in front of a statue if you don't move the statue once it's there!</p><p>You have to watch its movements while it's crawling around on the ceiling!</p>


It's classic single eye can shoot a fiery laser, and of course, to stun it, Link must shoot the eye with an arrow. To further damage it, the player must fire the Dominion Rod at one of the massive statues in the room; doing so allows Link to make the statue swing its fist onto Armogohma's carapace. Armogohma can also lay dozens of eggs, which hatch to reveal small spider-like enemies, known as Baby Gohma. After three hits by the statue Armogohma's body will implode. Upon getting its body destroyed, Armogohma's eyeball reveals itself to be a small spider on its own, and humorously tries to escape along with some of its spawn. It is killed after a single sword strike, and releases the third shard of the Mirror of Twilight.
|context6= Once struck with a statue via the Dominion Rod
|quote6= <p>What a handy little spider-crusher!</p><p>Go on! Just whack away!</p>


If one of the Dominion Rod-controlled statues is employed in smashing Armoghoma's eye, a brief and humorous sequence takes place in which the entire cluster of spiders is crushed instantly. The battle concludes with Link and Midna aquiring the third [[Mirror Shard]] and a [[Heart Container]].
|context7= Second form
|quote7= <p>It sure is a persistent bug... Even if it is just its eye, it's still alive...</p><p>But now that its armored shell is gone, you should be able to finish it off with your blade!</p>

Armogohma's eye is simular to Arrgus and Vitreous from A Link to the Past; she uses Arrghas' pattern of surrounding herself with her offspring to defend herself, while her eye resembles Vitreous without the lightning bolt attack.
After Link enters Armogohma's chamber, he approaches one of the four large statues. The skylight in front of it goes out. He takes out his {{Term|TP|Sword|link}} and the camera pans upward to reveal Armogohma on the ceiling. Armogohma walks between the four skylight openings on the ceiling, covering one before moving on to the next. It eventually stops over one of them and opens its eye. Link shoots the eye with an Arrow from the {{Term|TP|Hero's Bow|link}}. Armogohma recoils and falls to the ground on its back, in front of one of the corner statues. This queues a [[Critical Point]] and Link fires an energy ball from the Dominion Rod into the statue. The statue activates and smashes Armogohma's body with a stone fist. Armogohma recovers and returns to the ceiling. At times, Armogohma attacks Link with Baby Gohma or its homing energy beam. Link continues to activate the statues and smashes Armogohma's body twice more. Armogohma curls up on itself and explodes. Armogohma's eyeball reveals itself to be a small spider on its own, which tries to escape along with some of its spawn. Link quickly defeats the eyeball-spider and the rest of the Baby Gohma.

After Armogohma's defeat, Link receives a [[Mirror Shard]] and a [[Heart Container]].
