Igos' Servants are characters from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Specifically, they are two skeletal warriors similar in appearance and attack pattern to Stalfos. As implied by their name, they are the servants and bodyguards of Igos du Ikana, the King of Ikana. They are found in the Ancient Castle of Ikana and serve as the first phase of a mini-boss battle.

[edit] Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Very little is known about Igos' Servants. After the battle, it is implied that they died, along with their king, after a last ditch effort to attack Stone Tower. After their defeat, the big-boned servant claims to have once been the greatest swordsmen in Ikana; however, it is likely that he was bragging. As they die, they argue in similar fashion to how Koume and Kotake argue after they die in the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

During the end credits sequence, the servants and Igos can be seen floating around the throne room. Igos is humming the "Elegy of Emptiness".

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.

[edit] Battle

Igos' Servants serve as the first phase of a mini-boss battle in which Link must win to learn the "Elegy of Emptiness". When they rise to fight Link, he must use his Fire Arrows to burn away drapes on the wall, revealing sunlight. Basic sword attacks would then cause them to fall to the ground in a slump, where Link had to shine light on them with his Mirror Shield to defeat them. The King, Igos du Ikana, would then rise from his throne and battle Link himself. Interestingly, if Link uses the Bremen Mask in the battle against them, they will stop attacking and begin to march behind him. This, however, appears to be nothing more than an Easter Egg, as Link cannot attack while he is marching, and as soon as he stops, Igos' Servants resume fighting him.
