Armogohma is also slightly similar to its {{OoT}} counterpart [[Gohma|Queen Gohma]] at first. In this version, Gohma gives the appearance of a frighteningly huge hunter spider. While its first form can be tricky, its second form is widely considered to be one of the easiest boss fights in the entire series.

Armogohma appears to wear some kind of armor on her main body around her eye. This assumption gains strength after the first form of Armogohma is defeated, revealing the "eye" to be a small, independent creature. In addition, the outer shell has a stone-like texture, as well as numerous "engravings" all over it, similar to the other statues throughout the Temple of Time. It is quite possible that the armored outer shell is simply controlled by the eye, and is somehow related to the [[Armos]] or [[Beamos]], given the name of the creature and the similarity of the laser beam attack to the [[Beamos]]. This version of Gohma is hairy and has eight legs, heavily resembling a huntsman spider or tarantula.

Armogohma can shoot fiery lasers from its eye. It can also lay dozens of eggs, which hatch into [[Baby Gohma]]s. In order to stun Armogohma, [[Link]] must shoot its eye with the [[Bow]]. Afterwards, Link must fire the [[Dominion Rod]] at one of the massive statues in the room; doing so allows him to make the statue swing its fist onto Armogohma's carapace. After three hits by the statues, Armogohma's body will implode. Afterwards, Armogohma's eyeball reveals itself to be a small spider on its own, which tries to escape along with some of its spawn. The eyeball can be defeated with a single [[Sword]] strike, three [[Arrow]] shots, a single [[Bomb Arrow]], or two [[Spinner]] attacks. It can also be defeated by using one of the statues controlled by the Dominion Rod, flattening it in the process.

When Link enters, he examines one of the four statues. But when the light from above goes out, he turns around and discovers Armogohma, and the battle begins.
The creature's single eye can shoot a fiery laser and, to stun it, [[Link]] must shoot the eye with an arrow. To further damage her, Link must fire the [[Dominion Rod]] at one of the massive statues in the room; doing so allows Link to make the statue swing its fist onto Armogohma's carapace. Armogohma can also lay dozens of eggs, which hatch to reveal small spider-like enemies, known as [[Gohma Larva|Baby Gohma]]. After three hits by the statues, Armogohma's body implodes. Armogohma's eyeball reveals itself to be a small spider on its own, and tries to escape along with some of its spawn, after its large body is destroyed. It is killed after a single [[Sword]] strike, three [[arrow]] shots, a single [[bomb]] arrow, or two [[Spinner]] attacks, and releases the third shard of the [[Mirror of Twilight]].


If one of the [[Dominion Rod]]-controlled statues is employed in smashing Armoghoma's eye, a brief and humorous sequence takes place in which the entire cluster of spiders is crushed instantly and Armoghoma's eye is smashed paper-thin. The battle concludes with Link and Midna acquiring the third [[Mirror of Twilight#Mirror Shard|Mirror Shard]] and a [[Heart Container]].
After Armogohma's defeat, Link obtains a [[Mirror Shard]] and a [[Heart Container]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Armogohma's eye is similar to [[Arrghus]] and [[Vitreous]] from {{ALttP}}; she uses Arrghus' pattern of surrounding herself with her offspring to defend herself, while her eye resembles Vitreous minus the lightning bolt attack.
*In the [[Zelda HD Experience|''Zelda'' HD Experience]], Armogohma appears fighting against Link in an environment reminiscent to the Temple of Time.
*Armogohma's intro is a callback to Queen Gohma's intro from {{OoT}}. The battle is initiated after Link looks upward to see Armogohma's eye moving around.
*The chorus that plays during Armoghoma's first phase resembles certain sounds heard in the battle against [[Puppet Ganon]]'s second form, which also resembles a spider.
*Armogohma is the only boss whose [[Critical Point]] does not involve Link slashing away at the boss' with his sword. The fanfare familiar to every previous Critical Point plays as Armogohma lands before the anthropomorphic statues, ready to be pummeled at the shot of the Dominion Rod.
*In the [[Zelda HD Experience]], a [[Wii U]] tech demo at E3 2011, shows Link fighting against an Armogohma in a HD environment very reminiscent of the Temple of Time.
