'''Arrghus''' is a type of large cycloptic jellyfish, typically found floating above water. They are capable of manipulating smaller entities known as [[Arrgi]] to surround them and sometimes shoot them out as weapons. Unlike [[Bari]]s, Arrghuses are not electric. They are typically bosses or mini-bosses in water-themed areas. In the games they appear in, they are often fought multiple times, and as such are seemingly a species instead of an individual. Their English name comes from {{wp|Argus Panoptes}}, a Greek mythological figure with an eye-covered body.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Arrghus is the boss of the [[Swamp Palace]], and is depicted as a red, transparent jellyfish. Its Arrgi, depicted as orange spheres with "angry" eye-like designs, can be removed with the [[Hookshot]] item, and then slashed to destroy them. If they are not destroyed in time, they will return to Arrghus. Once all the Argii are defeated, Arrghus will leap around the room and slide between the corners. At this point, it can be attacked, eventually defeating it.

If they are not destroyed in time, they will return to Arrghus. Arrghus is also capable of quickly revolving them and expanding their rotations outward for a bit to attack. Once all the Argii are defeated, Arrghus will leap around the room and slide between the corners. At this point, it can be attacked, eventually defeating it.


In the [[Palace of the Four Sword]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords]]'', an orange Arrghus is found. Instead of the typical Arrgi, it surrounds itself with dark green [[Bari|Onoff]]s, thus adding the challenge of defeating them without being shocked. However, they do not zap Link unless they have already been removed.

Arrghuses reappear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', where one is the main mid-boss of the [[Great Bay Temple]], guarding the [[Ice Arrow]]s. Internationally, they are referred to by their Japanese name, '''Wart'''. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D]]'', all Western releases other than the English one corrected this to their respective typical name for Arrghus. Instead of being a jellyfish, Wart is depicted as a large ovoid mass with green scales and brown areas on the top and bottom. On its back, its shape tapers into a point, resembling a tail. Its eye is also quite large compared to before. The Arrgi are depicted as pink bubble-like spheres. The Arrgi again can be removed with the Hookshot as they circle around Wart, and will bounce back to it if not destroyed quickly. They will also be removed if hit with another weapon, such as the [[sword]].

Wart initially is on the ceiling of its room (similar to [[Gohma]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'') in the middle of a mass of Arrgi, silently watching Link. Once Link looks it straight in the eye either in first-person view or with an aimable weapon, it will react and fall to the floor, with the impact knocking down the Arrgi, which bounce around it before covering it. In battle, Wart will periodically open and close its eye; once its eye is hit enough, the Arrgi will all bounce off from Wart and bounce around, and Wart will slide around the room quickly. Hitting it more will eventually defeat it, causing it to shake and then explode. Later, another Wart is found in the [[Secret Shrine]], along with the other main dungeon mid-bosses.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', Arrghus is again the boss of the Swamp Palace. It is the only [[Dark World]] boss to be fought in [[Lorule]] instead of being replaced by a permutated variant like most are. Arrghus is now opaque and lumpy, and its Arrgi are depicted as eyes within bubbles. It only has a small amount of Arrgi, which it moves in Link's direction to cover that side of itself. Once again, the Arrgi can be removed by the Hookshot and will return if not destroyed. Once they all are destroyed, the sclera of Arrghus's eye turns black, and it alternates between leaping up and attempting to squash Link and floating slowly away from him while shooting lasers in the water, causing jets of water to shoot up a few seconds later. Attacking it further eventually causes it to be destroyed. Later, a yellow and green one is fought in [[Lorule Castle]] as one of its four minibosses.

In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], Arrghus appears in Chapter 9, where it suddenly attacks Link as he tries to reach the second maiden's [[Crystal Cocoon]]. It is depicted as an enormous mass of segmented red tentacles attached to a giant featureless red orb, which Link dives into to defeat it. After he does so, it starts forcefully pushing out air from the resulting puncture like a deflating balloon, propelling Link into the crystal, smashing it.
