'''Aruroda''' are one-eyed [[Wikipedia:scorpion|scorpion]]-like foes in {{TAoL}}.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= Aruroda|book= [[The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts]]|publisher=Dark Horse Comics |page= 128}}</ref>

Aruroda usually keeps their eyes closed, and often charge directly at Link, casting fireballs from their tails. Theses fireballs are normally unblockable and require that Link use the [[Reflect Spell|Reflect]] magic. They can only be harmed by striking them when their single large eye is open, much like a [[Gohma]].

==Trivia==

*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 monsters. 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.

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