{{Term/Store|Head Thwomp||Series, OoA}} is the {{Term|OoA|Boss|link}} of the {{Term|OoA|Wing Dungeon|link}} in {{OoA}}.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= OoA |publisher= Nintendo |page= 73}}</ref> It is a variant of a {{Term|OoA|Thwomp|link}}.
The '''Head Thwomp''' (グルン, ''Gurun'') is the boss of the [[Wing Dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. To defeat it [[Link]] had to throw [[bomb]]s into the opening in its head. Timed correctly, so that when it stops spinning its red face is showing, damage was caused to the creature. If a different color was showing when the spinning stopped, such as blue, green, or violet, it unleashed attacks such as falling rocks or fireballs. Upon its defeat, Link was able to take the [[Essences of Time#Ancient Wood|Ancient Wood]].


==Strategy==
==Characteristics==
Head Thwomp is immune to everything except bombs, and even then they can only hurt him if his red face is looking straight ahead. To defeat Head Thwomp effectively, a useful method is to wait until the face is purple, then to throw the bomb. With good timing, by the time the bomb reaches it the face will have turned red.
{{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}} is battled in a side-view {{Wp|Platform game|platforming}} section of the {{Term|OoA|Wing Dungeon}}. It floats in the center of the room, constantly rotating between its four faces of different colors and expressions. Three small platforms that {{Term|OoA|Link|link}} can jump onto with the {{Term|OoA|Roc's Feather|link}} float in a circle around {{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}}, and ladders on the sides of the room allow {{Term|OoA|Link}} to climb to a higher vantage point.


{{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}} is immune to all attacks except for {{Plural|OoA|Bomb|link}} thrown into its open top. When this happens, {{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}} will begin rotating quickly for several seconds, slowing down and eventually stopping with one of its faces forward; the same face that was shown when the {{Term|OoA|Bomb}} entered it. If the red face is shown, {{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}} will take damage and drop a {{Term|OoA|Heart|link}} out of its mouth, whereas the other three faces will cause it to attack in various ways. The green face will see {{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}} fire {{Plural|OoA|Podoboo|link}} from its top, which then rain back down on {{Term|OoA|Link}}. The blue face makes it fire several smaller fireballs, which spin around the room in the path of the floating platforms, harming {{Term|OoA|Link}} and knocking him off of them. The purple face makes it slam downward like a regular {{Term|OoA|Thwomp|link}}, crushing {{Term|OoA|Link}} and causing rocks to fall from the ceiling.


{{InorganicEnemy}}
{{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}} will periodically fire {{Plural|OoA|Podoboo}} on its own, sometimes also firing a {{Term|OoA|Bomb}} item among them that {{Term|OoA|Link}} can collect to replenish his supply. {{Term|OoA|Link}} must time his jumps to dodge {{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}}'s attacks and throw {{Plural|OoA|Bomb}} so they land when its red face is showing. After taking damage four times, {{Term|OoA|Head Thwomp}} will be defeated and will make one final slam onto the ground before disappearing, leaving behind a {{Term|OoA|Heart Container|link}} and a path toward the {{Term|OoA|Ancient Wood|link}}.
