'''Omfak''' is a shape-shifting, guardian creature who oversees the [[Shrine of Gamelon]] in ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]''. In battle, Omfak is known to shoot projectiles and morph its likeness into that of a wolf, a fire-spitting lion, and a pair of gigantic, exaggerated lips.

During the battle, Omfak will rotate through three different forms, however, only when in the "lips" form will it be vulnerable to damage. In its wolf form, Omfak procures star-shaped lasers, and when in lion form, fireballs are its projectile of choice. Typically in ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon'', only one strike of the sword is enough to dispel a boss, and Omfak is no different.
