The '''Twilit Bloat''' is a mini-boss appearing in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. This creature is a bloated, giant [[Shadow Insect]] with tentacles emerging from its abdomen that can release electric shockwaves. This larger variant has the unique ability to swim underwater. Judging by its size and status as a mini-boss, it is plausible that this variant is the Queen of the Shadow Insects, as queen insects are characteristically larger to enable reproduction.

To defeat Twilit Bloat, Link must wait until it isn't charging him or is bursting with electricity.  He must then L-target it and leap onto its lower section, then proceeding to hold the L button and repeatedly press A to bite it furiously.

At this point, Link must jump on its belly and use the energy field with [[Midna]]'s help to attack its six tentacles at the same time. Once they are all destroyed in the same instant, it will shrivel up and die. This will release the last tear of light Link will collect, allowing him to finish returning light to Hyrule.
