{{Term/Store|Bilocyte||Series, SS}} is a {{Term|SS|Boss|link}} in {{SS}}.<ref name="E 167"/> It is a large parasite that infiltrates and possesses [[Levias]], who lives inside the giant [[Thunderhead]] near [[Skyloft]].


The Ocular Parasite '''Bilocyte''' is a large parasite that appears in {{SS}}. It enters into and possesses the Great Sky Spirit [[Levias]], who lives in [[Thunderhead]].

Based on the creature's anatomy, it is probable that this monster's weakness is its central '''eye'''.  
To defeat Bilocyte, [[Link]] must first use his [[Crimson Loftwing|Loftwing]] to [[Spiral Charge]] into the eyeball at the end of each tentacle hanging out of Levias's body. Alternatively, using the [[Bow]] and a well-aimed Arrow, Link can shoot down the tentacles from atop Levias. Once all of the tentacles have been destroyed, a single eyeball will attack Link from its position rooted inside Levias's blowhole.

This larger eyeball is not another tentacle, but the head of the parasite. When it appears, Link must land atop Levias's head to lure it out to battle. Bilocyte attacks Link by spitting green projectiles at him from its mouth, which Link must deflect with his [[Sword]] towards Bilocyte's frills, closing them. After hitting both frills with the parasite's own projectiles, Link can either reflect more projectiles into Bilocyte's eye, use a [[Skyward Strike]], or fire an arrow at it to bring it down, allowing Link to release a barrage of Sword strikes on the creature. After repeating this process a few more times, Bilocyte is destroyed and Levias is restored to his senses.


In order to effectively hit the Bilocyte by repelling its projectiles, you must consider the direction in which you are swinging your sword. By swinging left and right, you can control the direction of the deflection. Swinging up or down will deflect projectiles straight back.}}

*Levias and Bilocyte are the only bosses that cannot be challenged in the [[Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round]].


== Properties ==
==Nomenclature==
Bilocyte is a large red parasite that possesses [[Levias]], controlling his body and mind and making the Sky Spirit much more aggresive than usual. It has a single large head that contains a vulnerable eyeball and two frills, its two main weaknesses. It also has many tentacles, each holding an eye at the end, extended from holes along Levias's body.
{{Nomenclature}}
 
To defeat Bilocyte, [[Link]] must first use his [[Crimson Loftwing|Loftwing]] to [[Spiral Charge]] into the eyeball at the end of each tentacle hanging out of Levias's body. Alternatively, using the [[bow]] and a well-aimed arrow, Link can shoot down the tentacles from atop Levias. Once all the tentacles are destroyed, a single eyeball will attack Link from its position rooted inside Levias's blowhole.
 
This larger eyeball is not another tentacle, but the head of the parasite. When it appears, Link must land atop Levias's head to fight the creature. Bilocyte attacks Link by spitting out green projectiles from its mouth, which Link must repel in such a way that they impact Bilocyte's frills, closing them. After impacting both frills, Link can either reflect more projectiles into Bilocyte's eye, use a [[Skyward Strike]], or fire an arrow at it to bring it down, allowing Link to release a barrage of sword strikes upon it. After repeating this process a few more times, Bilocyte is destroyed and Levias is restored.<ref>{{cite|If I'm correct, Levias is the one inside the thunderhead.

==Trivia==
*Levias and Bilocyte are the only bosses that cannot be challenged in the Thunder Dragon [[Lanayru (Dragon)|Lanayru's]] Lightning Round.
*Bilocyte bears a slight resemblance to the [[Eye Plant]]s in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''.
*By using a specific [[Glitches in Skyward Sword#Invisible Bilocyte|glitch]], Bilocyte appears invisible.
{{Theory}}
*Though never explicitly stated, it is likely that Bilocyte possessed Levias due to the intervention of [[Ghirahim]], as it dies in the same manner as Ghirahim's other minions. This would be consistent with the fact that the [[Thunderhead]] apparently formed only a short time before Ghirahim unleashed the tornado that knocked Zelda to the Surface.{{fact}}
