'''Gohmas''' are a recurring species of large arthropods with one large eye, which is their weak spot. Generally, they have a mixture of traits from spiders and crabs, and are sometimes generically referenced as either. They often appear as bosses or mid-bosses. | |||

Gohmas first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', appearing in both orange and blue. As such, they are the only boss in the game to have multiple color variations. Both types scuttle left and right across the room, occasionally opening their closed eye and firing projectiles. The orange ones can be defeated by hitting their eye with a single arrow while it is open. The blue version, however, takes three. An orange Gohma is the boss of the sixth labyrinth in the first quest, [[Dragon (Labyrinth)|Dragon]]. Later, one appears as a minor encounter in the eighth labyrinth, [[Lion]]. In the [[Second Quest]], orange Gohmas have minor encounters in [[Level-5 (Second Quest)|Level-5]] and [[Level-7 (Second Quest)|Level-7]], with the blue version being the boss of [[Level-6 (Second Quest)|Level-6]]. | |||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', a pair of Gohmas acts as the mid-boss of [[Catfish's Maw]]. They both scuttle back and forth across the width of a long room, occasionally charging forward slightly before returning to their original location, along with their original attack of shooting a fireball from their eyes when they open. In this case, they become vulnerable to the [[Hookshot]]. Along with [[Master Stalfos]], they are absent from [[Turtle Rock]], unlike other mid-bosses. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'' tints them green, while [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch remake]] colors them red. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', a pair of Gohmas acts as the mid-boss of [[Catfish's Maw]].

A Gohma, subtitled "Parasitic Armored Arachnid" and called "Queen Gohma" by a [[Deku Scrub]] appears as the first boss of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', appearing [[inside the Deku Tree]]. [[Ganondorf]] placed it there to kill the [[Great Deku Tree]] due to his refusal to give Ganondorf the [[Kokiri Emerald]]. Gohma in this game has a more monstrous and visceral design, featuring a fleshy, nozzle-like abdomen to lay [[Gohma Egg]]s from, an eye capable of full spherical rotation, and a pair of lobster like claws coming from her back. She is first seen crawling on the ceiling of a web-filled room deep underneath the Deku Tree. Once Link enters the room, she starts rustling around. When the game's camera has her in view sufficiently (through first-person view, the [[Fairy Slingshot]], targeting, or simple standing far enough away at the correct angle), Gohma will take notice of Link, rotate her eye around, and drop to the floor. She attacks mostly through her various claw-like appendages. When her eye becomes vulnerable, it changes to red. Hitting it with the slingshot will stun her, at which point she can be attacked with the [[Kokiri Sword]] or [[Deku Stick]]s. After she takes enough damage, she will climb to the ceiling and prepare to drop Gohma Eggs, at which point her eye becomes vulnerable again, allowing her to be knocked back to the floor, stunned. Attacking her enough more times will defeat her, causing her to disintegrate. Despite Link killing her, however, the Deku Tree still dies from the damage she caused, causing [[Mido (character)|Mido]] to blame Link for his death. | |||

A Gohma is the boss of the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]]. It has a large fiddler crab-like claw with which to grab Link. If it dos so, it will slam him to the ground to damage him. The claw itself can be attacked, however, and eventually destroyed. After this is done, it will start acting like most previous Gohmas in 2D games, but also be able to summon parasitic [[Gohma Larva]]e. Like in ''Ocarina of Time'', the weapon effective against its eye is a [[Slingshot]]. | |||

A lava-based Gohma appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', looking very little like previous versions. Instead, it is more centipede-like in body structure, resembling the [[Magtail]]s found in the vicinity. It is placed in [[Dragon Roost Cavern]] under where [[Valoo]] rests by Ganondorf, and it angers Valoo by hurting his tail.

He must use the [[Whip]] on Valoo's dangling tail to cause the ceiling of the volcano to cave in on Gohma, which stuns it, damages its armor visibly, and allows its eye to be attacked. After this process is repeated enough times, Gohma will explode. It is later found in a monochrome repeat of the encounter in [[Ganon's Castle]]. | ||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Gohmas can be found using their original attack pattern as mid-bosses in certain locations, taking multiple arrows to defeat. They can also be found as simple enemies in [[the Field]]. Defeating all of them in this location grants access to a path to [[the Swamp]]. Aside from arrows, certain thrown objects can damage them. | |||

A noticeable inconsistency is that the Gohma in the cutscene has two realistic crab eyes, while it appears with the single prominent one in the sprite. | ||
