{{Term/Store|Geru|Geru|Series, TAoL|plural}} are lizard-like warriors who appeared in {{TAoL}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 180}}</ref>
 
==Characteristics==
{{Plural|TAoL|Geru}} are very similar in appearance to [[Lizalfos]]. They fight primarily using maces and defend themselves with a shield. They are the strongest enemies Link will face outside of the [[Dungeon]]s in the game and are similar in battle to [[Iron Knuckle]]s.


'''{{Exp|ゲール (Gēru)|Gaeru}}''' (also known as '''Geeru''' or '''Gale''') are lizard-like warriors who appeared in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. They are very similar in appearance to [[Lizalfos]], but not the same creature, although they may be related or have provided their inspiration. They fight primarily using maces, and defend themselves with a shield. They are the strongest enemies Link will face outside of the [[Dungeon]]s in the game, and are similar in battle to [[Iron Knuckle]]s.
Geru seem highly organized and most of them are found in the valleys of [[East Hyrule]] where they attack from beyond high walls, and many also inhabit the [[Valley of Death]] before the [[Great Palace]]. They can be commonly found in forests and graveyards. They do not appear in the Palaces, so it is likely that they are followers of [[Ganon]].

A Geru living on [[Maze Island]] kidnapped a [[Child]] from [[Mountain Town of Darunia|Darunia]] for reasons unknown, and Link must stage a rescue in order to learn the [[Reflect]] [[Magic]].


==Variations==
Geru appear in orange, red, and blue forms, each with slightly different behavior. Both Red and Blue Geru are armed with maces (which cannot be repelled with Link's shield, rather a [[Spells of The Adventure of Link#Reflect Spell|Reflect Spell]]), however the blue form also has the ability to throw its weapon, making it one of the strongest and most dangerous enemies in the game. The orange ones carry spears that can be blocked with Link's shield and can attack high and low, just like an [[Iron Knuckle]]. All Geru are skilled with a shield, making damaging them very challenging. While its possible to keep a Red Geru from getting close enough to hit with its mace, the Blue Geru can keep defending while causing a large amount of damage by throwing maces, so the [[Reflect Spell|Reflect]] magic is recommended if you intend to fight one.

Some Red Gaeru also appear from atop walls and hurl boulders at Link. These Gaeru cannot be attacked by normal means, and can only be destroyed with the [[Thunder Spell|Thunder]] magic.

Red and Orange Gaeru are commonly found in caves and forest areas of southern [[East Hyrule]]. Blue ones, however, are seen inhabiting darker grounds such as the [[graveyard]] and the [[Valley of Death]].
