Twilit Arachnid Armogohma (覚醒甲殻眼 シェルドゴーマ Kakusei Koukaku Me Sherudo Gōma?, Awakening Large Crustaceous Eye Shelled Gohma) is a boss in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is the boss of the Temple of Time. Armogohma is a giant tarantula with a single eyeball on its thorax encased in an armored exoskeleton. Armogohma's true form is a small spider with an eyeball design on its rear. This boss is arguably one of the easiest boss battles in the game.
The original design for Armogohma is known as Beta Gohma.

[edit] Battle
In the beginning of the battle, Armogohma will be crawling on the ceiling. To defeat Armogohma, Link must wait until she stops moving to shoot her beams, during which he must fire an arrow into her "eye". When she falls to the floor, Link must take control of the nearest statue with the Dominion Rod to attack her. When Armogohma gets up, she spawns numerous Baby Gohma to attack Link. She then crawls back up on the ceiling, and the process repeats. After a few repetitions, Armogohma's armor will be destroyed.
After her armor has been destroyed, Armogohma will run around with the Baby Gohma and attempt to escape. Link must either chase down the real Armogohma and slash it with his sword, or simply shoot its rear end with an arrow three times. Another, more humorous method is to use one of the statues to destroy Armogohma's true form.
[edit] Etymology
The name Armogohma is a portmanteau of "Armor" and "Gohma".

[edit] Theories
Theory warning: This section contains theoretical information based on the viewpoints or research of one or several other users. It has not been officially verified by Nintendo and its factual accuracy is disputed.
Some fans are debating whether or not the eyeball pattern on the true Armogohma's back is actually an eyeball or not. This is evidenced by these facts: The eyeball may be real because: The eye is the first to notice Link. When the real Armogohma turns around to start running from Link, one can notice strange webbing around the eye, possibly the stuff keeping the eye in place.
Theory warning: Theories end here.
