They are usually depicted as large, one-eyed arthropods and often shown as mothers of the {{Plural|Series|Gohma Larva|link}}. They are among the most recurring {{Plural|Series|Boss}} in the series since its conception.

A Gohma makes its first appearance in {{TLoZ}}. Its hard shell will repel all attacks, but its single eye is vulnerable to [[Arrow]]s shot with the [[Bow]].<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= The super-huge crab that lives in the labyrinths. Its hard shell will repulse any attack. Attack its weak point with a special weapon.|game= TLoZ|page= 38}}</ref> Due to this weakness, Gohma frequently keeps its eye closed, and attacks by shooting beams from a distance. There are two varieties of Gohma in this game, those being red and blue; the red Gohma can be killed by a single [[Arrow]] from the [[Bow]], while the blue one takes three Arrows to kill.

When Link confronts her, he discovers she has one weakness: her eye is vulnerable when it turns red.<ref>{{Cite|Its eye is vulnerable when it's red!|Navi|OoT}}</ref> By shooting at her red eye with a [[Deku Seed]] via the [[Fairy Slingshot]], Gohma will be stunned, leaving her open to attack from Link's sword or [[Deku Stick]]s.<ref name="Queen Gohma"/> After being hit at least once, Gohma will climb onto the room's ceiling and, if she is not stunned with a Deku Seed in time, she will attempt to hatch three Gohma Larva to aid her in battle. However, there is a strategy to defeat Gohma faster that only requires one [[Deku Stick]]. Once Gohma is stunned, Link must jump strike with the Deku Stick and then do multiple shield stabs (done by attacking with the sword while holding R but not [[Z-Targeting]]). Another strategy is to repeatedly land a hit at the very last frame before Gohma gets back up until she is defeated, though this requires perfect timing. It is possible to kill Gohma on the first [[Critical Point]] both ways. The amount of time Queen Gohma remains stunned for varies according to the technique administered: two seconds for using a [[Deku Nut]], five if Link fires a Deku Seed with his slingshot while her eye is red, and around eight if she is shot whilst hanging from the ceiling.

For defeating Gohma, Link's prize is a Heart Container, and an apology as well as [[Din's Pearl]] from the [[Rito Chieftain]]'s son, [[Komali]]. Over the course of the game, Gohma must be defeated twice, once in Dragon Roost Cavern and once in {{Term|TWWHD|Ganon's Castle|link}} to complete the game. If Link manages to capture a photograph of Gohma with his [[Picto Box]] and make it into a figurine, he discovers that her armor is actually white with pale, purplish markings. The impression of Gohma's seemingly gold armor and brass markings was created by the lava in the cavern.

Gohma also appears in {{BSTLoZ}}. A brown Gohma first appears as the boss of {{Term|BSTLoZ|Level-6|link}}, and can be taken out if it is shot in the eye with a single Arrow. Two blue Gohmas also appear in [[Level-8 (BS The Legend of Zelda)|Level-8]] as a double mini-boss battle. They are much more resilient, and will take three Arrows in each eye, or two Silver Arrows before their defeat.

**In addition, her roars during her boss battle were recycled for [[Volvagia]] and Ganon, which were edited to be faster and higher-pitched.
