Grinexx is a boss that appears in {{ALBW}}. It is the [[Lorule]]an counterpart of [[Trinexx]], and like Trinexx in {{ALttP}}, it is the boss of [[Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)|Turtle Rock]]. It shares quite a few similarities with Trinexx, such as a long neck, a stone shell, and rock like skin. It guards [[Sage]] [[Impa]]'s painting.

==Appearance and Weaknesses==
==Characteristics==
Grinexx begins the fight swimming in the lava underneath the arena, and attacks [[Link]] by erupting lava from its volcano-like back, which can go through the floor since it is a grate. During this phase, Link must use the Ice Rod to hit Grinexx as it passes under the holes of the arena, while also taking care not to get hit by the naturally erupting bursts of lava. Grinexx will occasionally retaliate by erupting lava and chasing Link around, but a hit from the Ice Rod will calm it down.

After sustaining enough damage, Grinexx will jump onto the main arena and attack Link more directly. Link's swords and other weapons can now damage its head in this phase, though it will often shoot out its head with its long neck and try to bite Link. Grinexx will occasionally curl up into a boulder, and release a devastating explosion. This attack is extremely damaging, so it is advised to run away from Grinexx as soon as it curls into its shell. It can also spin around while tucked in to its shell, sliding and ricocheting on the sides of the arena. The safest way for Link to avoid this attack is to stay in the corners as it bounces around the arena since Grinexx cannot fit in those areas. It should also be noted that all of the attacks that it uses in it's second phase except for the explosion attack can be deflected with a shield. After hitting Grinexx, eventually, the boss will fall, revealing a Heart Container and Impa's painting.

Grinexx is the boss of Turtle Rock in A Link Between Worlds.[name references needed] It appears as a large turtle with a rocky, volcano-like shell.

Characteristics

The battle against Grinexx takes place on grated metal platform above a pool of lava, with larger holes in its center and four corners. Grinexx begins the fight swimming in the lava underneath the arena. It attacks Link by erupting lava from its back, which passes through the floor grates. During this phase, Link must use the Ice Rod to hit Grinexx as it passes under the larger holes of the arena, while also taking care not to get hit by the erupting bursts of lava. Grinexx will occasionally retaliate by chasing Link around while erupting lava, though this attack can be stopped by using the Ice Rod.

After sustaining enough damage, Grinexx will jump out of the lava and onto the grated platform, closing the holes behind it, and will begin to attack Link directly. Link can damage the monster during this phase by striking its head with the Sword or other weapons. Grinexx will often attack by swiftly extending its neck to bite at Link. It will occasionally tuck into its shell, either to release a devastating explosion, or to begin spinning and sliding around the arena to run Link down. Direct attacks from Grinexx can be deflected with the Shield, but defending against the explosion requires the Hylian Shield. After taking enough strikes to the head, Grinexx will be defeated; a Heart Container will appear and a column displaying Impa's Painting will rise out of the lava.

Trivia

  • Grinexx may be based on the common snapping turtle, as they are known for their extended necks and their snapping bites, just like how Grinexx attacks Link.
