Editing Arrghus

'''Arrrghus''' (alternately known as '''Wart''' in the English localization of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'') is a recurring boss enemy from the ''[[Portal: The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series.

=Information=

Arrghus is a large one-eyed creature that most often resembles a jellyfish. Its eye is its weak point, but it is surrounded by smaller beings that act as shields. The smaller beings differ from game to game. In its original appearance, they are small puffy entities known as Arrgi. In ''Majora's Mask'', they are blobby bubbles. In ''A Link Between Worlds'' and ''Tri Force Heroes'', they are giant eyeballs encased within blobs. 

In any case, the method of fighting Arrghus is usually similar. Link usually has to use a [[Hookshot]] or similar item to reel in the entities surrounding Arrghus and destroy them in order to attack Arrghus itself. In  most appearances, Arrghus floats around aimlessly at first, but after its entities are destroyed, it begins moving around quickly in a last-ditch effort to destroy Link. It also shoots lasers in some appearances.

=Appearances=

Arrghus originally appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' as the boss of the [[Swamp Palace]] and guarded one of the [[Sages|maidens]] who were trapped in crystals. In [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords|the GBA remake]], a stronger version of Arrghus appeared as one of the minibosses faced within the [[Palace of the Four Sword]]. That Arrghus was surrounded by electrified [[Bari]] instead, and it also summoned swarms of [[Kyameron]] during the final phase of its battle.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Arrghus was a miniboss faced at the [[Great Bay Temple]] and also within the Secret Shrine. This marked Arrghus's only appearance in a 3-D game. A variation on Arrghus known as Stone Arrghus also appeared as the boss of the [[Eastern Temple]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. This version was a floating one-eyed boulder that was surrounded by smaller rocks. It was battled similarly to normal incarnations of Arrghus, as the boomerang could be used to remove the smaller rocks and make its eye vulnerable to being attacked. After its stones were all disposed of, Stone Arrghus would stomp around and unleash shockwaves.

Arrghus also appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', where it once again acted as the boss of the Swamp Palace and had a similar attack pattern as in ''A Link to the Past''. It also acted as a miniboss within [[Lorule Castle]]. Arrghus also appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes|Tri Force Heroes]]'' as the boss of the Water Temple and the overall boss of the Riverside area. In this appearance, it also displayed the ability to fire out ink that could temporarily prevent Links from using their weapons. Later in the game, [[Lady Maud]]'s [[Tri Furies]] included a monster resembling Arrghus, circled by two eyes surrounded by fire and two ices encased in ice. It was defeated in a similar manner as the original Arrghus.

=Trivia=

*Its Japanese name is Waato, or Wart. Wart was used as its English name in ''Majora's Mask'', most likely due to a mistake,
*Its English name, Arrghus, may be a reference to Argus Paoptes, a giant from Greek mythology who is known for having many eyes.
