Arurodas are scorpion-like enemies in The Adventure of Link.[1]

Characteristics

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.

Nomenclature
