Geldarms are enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. They are slender, worm like creatures found exclusively in the deserts on the western continent. They are white in color and their only weak points are their heads. The heads are normally held out of reach atop the long body, but an attack to the body causes Geldarm to burrow into the ground where its vulnerable head is exposed. Link gains five experience points for defeating a Geldarm.

[edit] Etymology

The Japanese name for "Geldarm" is "Gerudarm", which implies a possible connection to the Gerudo, or at least the Gerudo Desert.
