'''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==
==Characteristics==
*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.
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.
*These enemies have elsewhere been given the unofficial name {{Name|Skettlar}}.<ref>[http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda/the-adventure-of-link/aol-enemies/ AoL  Enemies at zeldauniverse.net]</ref>
 
*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.
==Nomenclature==
*Artwork from the Futashiba Guide, which was not created by Nintendo, depicts it with claws that the creature does not have.
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.
