Gohmas are mini-bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Multiple Gohmas appear as the mini-bosses of Catfish's Maw, the fifth dungeon. As is traditional for the species, Gohma's appearance is that of a large arachnid with one eye. They also appear again in Turtle Rock.
[edit] Strategy
Link is outnumbered when he finds the Gohmas in the dungeon. Their eyes, their only vulnerable point, open and close, making it difficult to strike; when the eyes are open, they fire projectiles at Link. The Hookshot is effective against the open eyes and can reduce Gohma's ability to attack.
