Aruroda
Arurodas are Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.(TAoLThe Adventure of Link | EoWEchoes of Wisdom)[1][2]
Characteristics
The Adventure of Link
Arurodas usually keep their eyes closed and often charge directly at Link, casting fireballs from their tails. These fireballs normally cannot be blocked and require the use of the Reflect Spell. Arurodas can only be harmed by attacking their single eye when it is open.
Echoes of Wisdom
Arurodas are scorpion-like Enemies with one Eye that appear within the Gerudo Desert. They attack by and striking targets with a stinger, sometimes burrowing into the sand and appearing behind their target before attacking.[2] Arurodas can also walk on and burrow into Quicksand. Once an Aruroda is defeated, it can drop a Warm Pepper. When summoned as an Echo, they have an Echo cost of two.
Nomenclature
In Japanese, Aruroda's name (アルローダ (Arurōda)) is similar to the name of Lowder (ローダー (Rōdā)), suggesting a link between the two. While "Arurōda" does lack one of the chōonpu present in "Rōdā", this is not unusual; for example, Leever has been named リーバー (Rībā) and リーバ (Rība) in different games.
