Girobokkus are enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Girobokku is its name in the Japanese version of the game; it was never given an official name in English.

Girobokkus are similar to Moas in that they are both floating eyes. However, Girobokkus are much slower than Moas. They are also heavily armored. Link's sword can strike a Girobokku if its eye is open, but otherwise his strike is deflected. Contact with a Girobokku does a surprising amount of damage.

Because it has no official English name, English speaking fans have referred to Girobokkus with several different names. Some fans think of it as being a Digdogger or Patra, but this is not true.
