Aquamentus (アクオメンタス, Akuomentasu^?) is a boss from The Legend of Zelda. It is a dragon with a distinctive single horn on its snout. Aquamentus is the boss of levels Level 1 and Level 7 during the First Quest and levels Level 1 and Level 4 during the Second Quest. However, in the latter, it is only a regular enemy.

Battle

Aquamentus attacks by spitting three energy balls at a time towards Link. These can be blocked with the Magical Shield. Aquamentus can be damaged if struck in the head with a sword, Sword Beam, bomb or boomerang. It can also be hurt by an arrow, which it is weak to.
