Mutated Ganon is a enemy in Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. It was added in the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, and fought in the EX mission of the same name(and some side battles)

Characteristics

Mutated Ganon is extremely reminiscent of Breath of the Wild's Calamity Ganon. It has 2 arms which are made of Malice and covered in Eyes Of Malice. The arms themselves have a sawblade and a sword respectively. It also has whisker-like appendages jutting out from beside it's head with blades(Including one strangely reminiscent of a Lizal Tri-Boomerang) for defending it's vulnerable head. It walks on spine-like legs. Despite it's massive size, it is surprisingly agile, able to jump high and far. It has 2 phases too. In the first, none of it's unique abilities are shown, and it's eye, which is down at ground level, is a weak point, making it extremely easy to hurt it's weak point gauge. But eventually, it charges itself up with Malice, and it's eye is no longer a weak spot(Though this is seemingly at the cost of giving it's weapons weak point gauges.) and it's weapons become targetable with Lock-On. It can even use 2 rune-counterable attacks at the same time(Though the usefulness of that is seemingly very low.) It's attacks are as follows

  • Swing it's blade down
  • Slam it's sawblade down
  • Fire off homing Malice fireballs
  • Jump back while firing Malice enhanced Terrako Beams
  • Swing it's whisker blades forwards

In Phase 2, it's attacks are enhanced

  • Swing it's blade down multiple times
  • Swing it's blade down with a shockwave added
  • Slam it's sawblade down multiple times
  • Slam it's sawblade down, then drag it across the room
  • Charge forwards while swinging it's whisker blades, then fall forwards and swing the sawblade back.
  • Defend with it's sawblade while summoning a ball of metal objects.
  • Slam both it's blade and sawblade down, (Which summons rocks) then fire off Malice.
  • Slam both it's blade and sawblade down, and attempt to suck you in.

Trivia

Mutated Ganon is the only enemy in the game you can't properly Stasis without a Rune Counter.
