Boss Names

The dungeon bosses of Twilight Princess each have names that are twists on other names, with the exception of the bosses of the Palace of Twilight and Hyrule Castle:

Diababa is a twist on Deku Baba. Also, the prefix "dia" can mean "two", like in "dialogue"; Diababa has two extra heads.

Fyrus is a twist on Darbus, which is the name of the Goron patriarch who was transformed into Fyrus, and the word fire.

Morpheel is a twist on Morpha, the boss of the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time, and eel.

Stallord uses the prefix "stal-", meaning any animated skeleton, and the suffix "-lord", to make Stallord, meaning that Stallord is "Lord of the Stals". Stallord is the largest stal- encountered in the Zelda series, greatly surpassing the size of the Stalfos warriors in The Wind Waker.

Blizzeta is a play on Yeta, the female Yeti who becomes Blizzeta, and the word blizzard.

Armogohma is a play on Armor, for the the hard exoskeleton on this boss, or Armos (as in Armos Statue), for the large statues used to defeat her, and "Gohma", the insect-like boss that appears in several other Zelda games.

Argorok is a play on "Kargarok", the bird-like enemy that is common throughout the game.
