'''Doomknockers''' are a type of armored enemy wielding a spiked club.

==History==
===''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''===
[[File:Doomknocker ZII sprite.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', Doomknockers are a heavily armored type of [[Gūma]] in most later [[palace]]s, starting with the [[Island Palace]]. Like normal Gūma, they move back and forth over a small area while facing [[Link]] and occasionally jumping. Unlike them, however, they wield maces that they throw in a rapid straight line forward, which after a substantial distance reverse direction, returning like a [[boomerang]]. Sometimes they may jump over a returning mace, causing it to continue in the other direction. Potentially due to their armor, they also have more health than a normal Gūma.

In the Japanese version of the [[Maze Island Palace]], the final stretch before the boss chamber features a Doomknocker in a teal color, matching the palace's walls in that version. However, it still is the same coded object; the blue palette is often given the wall colors in rooms with falling blocks, which that particular room lacks. This Doomknocker is removed in western releases.

===''Captain N: The Game Master''===
In ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', a Doomknocker appears in the Island Palace in the episode "Quest for the Potion of Power." Its armor is beige, its club is wooden, and both are seemingly covered in outward-facing screws.
