Aru Lowders are enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Their name in Japanese is "Aruroda", which compared to the Japanese "Roda" for Lowder, suggests a relationship between the two monsters. They are found primarly in the Southeast part of Hyrule, inhabiting deserts and caves.

Aru Lowders are giant chitinous scorpion-like arachnids whose only weak point is the single eye at the front of its body. Similar to Gohma, they can shut their eye to protect it, and are only vulnerable when it's open. They walk back and forth on the ground, occasionally pausing, sometimes darting forward or backwards. In addition to this unpredictable movement, they can shoot fireballs from their stinger. The fireballs are released in a random pattern as well, and they can't be stopped by Link's shield unless he uses the Reflect Spell. Between the random attack pattern and sporadic vulnerability, it's very difficult for Link to defeat an Aru Lowder without taking a few hits.

Aru Lowders are vulnerable to the Thunder Spell at all times, but are immune to the Fire Spell.
