Stagnox is a recurring Boss in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][name references needed]

Characteristics

Spirit Tracks

Stagnox is a giant green and brown stag beetle with a purple abdomen. It is first fought in the Forest Temple, and is fought again in the Castle Town Minigame Take 'Em All On!.

At the start of the fight, Stagnox is on the ground and will try to ram Link with its horn. He must run to its backside and use the Whirlwind to remove the gas which will allow him to attack its vulnerable backside. Eventually, it will take flight and release Blastworms, creatures that act as Bombs when attacked. Link must hit them with his Sword and use the Whirlwind to blow one of the Blastworms at Stagnox when it charges at him to flip it over. This will leave it once again vulnerable to attack.

Trivia

Nomenclature

Stagnox's name is derived from "stag," as in a stag beetle, upon which it is based. The "nox"-part may be derived from noxious, meaning toxic, which may refer to the poison gas Stagnox's rear end emits. The name "Kornules" used in some localizations comes from "Corno" (horn) and Hercules Beetle.
