Fokka are only found in the [[Great Palace]] and are among the deadliest foes in {{TAoL}}. They can leap with startling agility and deal enormous amounts of damage. They appear in both blue and red varieties, the former being even more deadly as they can throw beams from their sword, much like blue [[Iron Knuckle]]s. Sometimes, it is best to flee them rather than to stand and fight as the amount of experience rewarded for defeating one is minimal at this late stage in the game. These creatures serve as guardians of the Great Palace – a role usually played by Iron Knuckles, who fight in a similar manner to Fokka. Much like Iron Knuckle statues in the first six dungeons, statues of Fokka appear throughout the Great Palace.


Their name and appearance share similarities with the [[Fokkeru]] from the same game. They both appear in the Great Palace, and are probably related, and may both have a relation to the [[Thunderbird]].
