To defeat Gleerok, Link must fire the Cane of Pacci at its back, then climb on top of its neck and slash the yellow thorn on its back with his Sword while it is stunned. Gleerok's main form of attack is to spew fire on any surrounding prey or threats. If all else fails, it will submerge itself in its lava pool and cause major disruptions within its abode, including an increase in lava flow and tectonic disruptions that cause chunks of rock to fall from the ceiling.
Other Appearances
The Minish Cap (Himekawa)
In the The Minish Cap manga by Akira Himekawa, Gleerok was cursed by Vaati prior to its battle with Link. Once defeated, Gleerok turns back to its true form, a softer, plesiosaur-like creature. The newly transformed Gleerok then gives Link the Fire Element.
