Cyclok, The Stirrer of Winds (竜巻魔空魚 フーオクタ, Tornado Demon Sky Fish: Fuuokuta) is the boss of the Palace of Winds, the second dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. It is what appears to be a large Octorok who has the power to summon powerful cyclones.
[edit] Battle
Cyclok stays out Link's reach for most the battle, hovering in the skies above. He periodically flies to the ground to run into Link. Furthermore, Cyclok summons mini-cyclones that twirl on the ground. In order to damage Cyclok, Link must first knock it out of the sky by tossing a Bomb or Bomb Flower into a mini-cyclone below it. Cyclok then crashes to the floor, becoming vulnerable to Link's sword. After a few hits, Cyclok creates a cyclone and flies back into the air. After several cycles, Cyclok is defeated.
[edit] Etymology
The name Cyclok is a portmanteau of "Cyclone" and "Octorok." In the French version of the game, Cyclok's name is Poulpatine, empereur du vent, which is another funny portmanteau of "Poulpe", french word for Octopus, and "Palpatine", Star Wars' well-known villain. "Empereur du vent" then means "Wind Emperor", still referencing to Palpatine.
