History

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

Doomknocker ZII sprite.png

In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Doomknockers are a heavily armored type of Gūma in most later palaces, 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.

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.
