Molgera (モルド・ゲイラ, ''Morudo Geira'') is a gargantuan [[Lanmola]]-like creature that lives in the depths of the [[Wind Temple]], waiting for its prey. It must be defeated in order for [[Makar]] to be placed in as the new sage of the Wind, and for the [[Master Sword]] to return to full power.

==Characteristics==
When Molgera emerges from the sand, [[Link]] must be careful not to get too close to its gaping mouth; otherwise, the creature might devour him and cause severe damage before spitting him back out. Link must get close enough, however, and use [[L-Target]]ing to grab its tongue with his [[Hookshot]]. Now that it is near him, Link uses the Master Sword and slashes away. This is what causes damage to Molgera.

When Molgera emerges from the sand, [[Link]] must be careful not to get too close to its gaping mouth; otherwise, the creature might devour him and cause damage before spitting him back out. Link must [[Targeting|Target]] Molgera's tongue with the [[Hookshot]] so he can attack it with any weapon.


One of its other attacks is to send out three baby Molgeras to annoy Link. He uses the [[Hookshot]] to latch onto them, pull them to his side, and slash them. They reward him with hearts when they die. In the meantime, Link must watch out for Molgera as it emerges from the sand and flies through the air, attempting to crush him when it dives back in. Link keeps hooking and slashing its tongue until it is done. After receiving four scored onslaughts, the boss flies into the air and explodes in a shower of sand, revealing the Triforce crest with the blue light.
After enough damage is dealt, the boss will release three [[Molgera Larva]]e to distract Link. He can use the Hookshot to latch onto them and slash them with the [[Sword]], rewarding him with [[Heart]]s. After Molgera sends its Larvae out, Link must watch for Molgera as it emerges from the sand and flies through the air, attempting to crush him when it dives back in.


Link's rewards from this fight are a [[Heart Container]] and a fully powered [[Master Sword]].
After receiving enough damage, the boss flies into the air and explodes in a shower of sand, revealing the [[Triforce]] crest with blue light.

==Trivia==
*Molgera is possibly the largest boss Link has ever fought, along with [[Dark Dragon]], [[Morpheel]], [[Eox]], [[Stallord]], [[Bongo Bongo]], [[Cragma]], and [[Twinmold]].
*In {{A&A}}, Molgera got its name swapped with [[Jalhalla]].
*Molgera's name is a play on ''Mogura'', the Japanese word for mole.
 
*This boss may be inspired by the [[Wikipedia:Sandworm (Dune)|Sandworms]] from Dune.
==Nomenclature==
*Molgera's tongue can be extended; Link simply uses his Hookshot on it, moves back, and uses Hookshot on it again. The tongue can stretch across the room. When it's overstretched, it's possible to see that it actually consists of several unconnected spheres, although this is most likely just a glitch.
Molgera's name is a play on ''Mogura'', the Japanese word for mole.
*It is also possible to latch onto Molgera's tongue while it's in the air if it's timed right. Molgera becomes frozen in the air if that happens.
 
*The song that plays during the fight with Molgera is included in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
