Bellum is the primary antagonist of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. He had multiple tentacles, each with an eye on the end. He was the one responsible for attacking the Ocean King and the the fairies, Ciela, Leaf, and Neri. After draining Ciela's memory, he concealed himself in the Temple of the Ocean King.

[edit] Strategy

Link must battle Bellum in order to restore Ciela's memory and remove the curse on the Temple of the Ocean King. There, Bellum is found hiding in a pool of murky, poisonous water. He attacks Link by using a contingent of small minions, intended to distract the hero. Link must first use his Grappling Hook to remove the layers of ooze which cover Bellum, then to grab him and bring him close enough to strike with the sword. Eventually, after taking a few hits, Bellum leaps up to the second floor; Link must follow him there and equip his bow and arrows. He must then shoot each of the eyes which adorn Bellum's tentacles using his arrows, which will cause the beast to lose his grip and fall into the pool of poison below. You repeat the second floor, but then he will then climb out and jump to the third floor, where the same strategy must be repeated. It becomes trickier over time, as Bellum both strikes Link with his tentacles and closes the eyes to make them harder to shoot.
