'''Magmanos''' is a hand-shaped enemy made out of molten lava featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
Magmanos are hand-shaped enemies consisting of molten lava. They are found in various fenced magma pits in the {{Term|SS|Fire Sanctuary (Dungeon)|link}}. They attack by rising from the magma below the room's grate with their palms facing upward, pursuing Link wherever he goes. Link can take advantage of this to reach higher areas by standing on stone slabs in the room, which the Magmanos will raise as they emerge below. To defeat them, Link must solidify their bodies by splashing water on them, usually in the form of thrown [[Water Fruit]]. Once they are solid and immobile, he can destroy their bodies with his standard arsenal of weapons. Defeating all of them in a room will lower their magma pits, allowing Link to reach previously inaccessible areas.

{{Nomenclature}}


The Magmanos emerges out of various fenced magma pits in the [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]] with its palm facing upward. [[Link]] can take advantage of this position to reach higher areas by standing on various stone slabs, which the Magmanos will raise. To defeat these enemies, Link must solidify or in other words harden their bodies with water, which is usually in the form of [[Water Fruit]]. Once they are solid, he can defeat them with his standard arsenal of weapons. It is considered to be one of the two minibosses of the Fire Sanctuary. Most of the Magmanos lead to one of the captured treasure hunting Mogmas.

{{Ref}}
*Its name is a portmanteau of "magma" and "manus", the latter meaning "hands" in Latin.
*This is the only targetable enemy in ''Skyward Sword'' not given a spotlight in the official strategy guide. It is mentioned, but made out to be more like a trap, and is not named.

Characteristics

Fi says:

Target lock: Magmanos

This hand-shaped monster dwells in fiery lava. Its body is made up entirely of flowing magma. As such, it is invulnerable to most attacks.

Theoretically, it would be possible to inflict damage on the monster if you were able to solidify its body.

Magmanos are hand-shaped enemies consisting of molten lava. They are found in various fenced magma pits in the Fire Sanctuary. They attack by rising from the magma below the room's grate with their palms facing upward, pursuing Link wherever he goes. Link can take advantage of this to reach higher areas by standing on stone slabs in the room, which the Magmanos will raise as they emerge below. To defeat them, Link must solidify their bodies by splashing water on them, usually in the form of thrown Water Fruit. Once they are solid and immobile, he can destroy their bodies with his standard arsenal of weapons. Defeating all of them in a room will lower their magma pits, allowing Link to reach previously inaccessible areas.

Early in the Fire Sanctuary, Link encounters one Magmanos in a room which cannot be defeated on the first visit, due to the nearby Water Fruit being barred from reach. Later, Link encounters a pair of Magmanos in another room which are fought as mini-bosses. Defeating them will free Silva, the Mogma captured in the next room.
