These beings are usually one-of-a-kind, and even more often they are gigantic, taking great cunning and strength, or sometimes great numbers, to overcome.

Armored Arachnid
Great Gohma
Description: Giant insectoid monstrosities. They all share having the same large single eye, but come in a variety of designs, from scorpion-like to arachnid, to centipede-like. They usually come in black, but can have armor on them of different colors.
History: The queen of Gohma, these giant monsters are more insidious than their offspring, and have been the cause of many disasters that occur throughout Hylia. They are the most common of Great Monsters to find.
Attack patterns: Gohma attack in a variety of ways dependant on their form. What is constant is that they are relentless and sinister in their assault, even summoning regular Gohma to keep an opponent distracted while they struck. A Gohma's body is usually armored or otherwise invulnerable to attack; their sole weakness is their eye.
Region: In woods, jungles and underground. Some are said to be found in volcanic areas.

Infernal Dinosaur
King Dodongo
Description: A Dodongo the size of a house and the length of two. Its armor has more plates across it as well as rocky growths along its back.
History: It is said that if given a hundred years to live, a Dodongo will grow into a King Dodongo, ruler of its domain. The only known King Dodongo resides deep within Death Mountain, hording a vast cave of extremely valuable minerals.
Attack patterns: King Dodongo is slow but strong and considered invulnerable. It will breath blasts of fire hot enough to turn sand into glass, and if the opponent is to far or fast it will roll up into a ball to try and crush them. It's only weakness is its innards, but to damage them is no easy task and requires great explosive power.
Region: Death Mountain

Bio-Electric Anemone
Barinade
Description: As its name applies, it is a large anemone with electrical powers, found in the deepest pits of lakes or the sea. Bari share a symbiotic relationship with it and many can be seen floating around one as well as attached to it.
History: Not much is known about Barinade. Because they live so deep in water they are not considered threats to anyone but those exploring the deep, such as Zoras. However, because they consume dead warriors, their bellies often wield valuable items.
Attack patterns: Extremely dangerous to attempt to face, not only because of the army of Bari that surround one, but because of the electric pulses it can emit from its body that can fry a large fish in a second. Your best bet is to attack from afar. Proceed with caution.
Regions: Deep underwater

Subterranean Lava Dragon
Volvagia
Description: A long serpentine dragon red in color. It has two powerful arms closer to its head and neck, and a black armored head with two curling black horns and a main of fire. Its eyes glow light torquoise.
History: The bane of all Gorons, Volvagia is famous for actually feasting on them(the only true natural predator of Gorons). It takes refuge in the hottest regions of volcanic areas after it has finished feeding on a Goron. Because of where it rests, few are able to even chase it down to slay it, and no Goron in their right mind would attempt to either.
Attack patterns: Volvagia has, of course, fire-breath, as well as being extremely hot to the touch. His body is heavily armored and it requires incredible force to try and smash the jewel atop its head, the source of its life.
Regions: Volcanic areas, occasionally near civilizations of Gorons wherever they roam.

Giant Aquatic Ameoba
Morpha
Description: An eyeball the size of a slightly larger basketball, covered in a huge serving of 'unholy water', a liquid thicker than regular water and bluer.
History: Morpha is the Great Master of Drought. Wherever she goes, Morpha sucks up water from lakers and rivers, even right out of the plants she passes through to take into her 'unholy water'. All those who have tried to defeat her have failed, unable to get pass its amorphous armor to reach her true body. And so she continues to plague the lands of Hylia.
Attack patterns: Morpha attacks with tentacles rock-solid from her watery exoskeleton, attempting to bludgeon, crush and constrict her enemies to death. She always tries to keep her body as far away from possible attack as she can. Arrows slow and get struck in her water, as do clumsly sword slashes and hammer strikes, so other means of attacking her innard must be found.
Regions: Hylia Mainland

Phantom Shadow Beast
Bongo Bongo
Description: Bongo Bongo is the size of a house. He has the top half of a muscular human. His arms are cut off just past the elbows, his enormous hands floating freely as if still connected to his arms. He doesn't seem to have a bottom past its torso, which ends in a tail-like mass of shadows. Its head is most bizarre, simply a plume of tentacles and flaps with a sole, enormous red eye inbetween. The color of his body is hues of dark blue and black.
History: Because of its head's similarities to monsters from the Twilight Realm, many believe this dark beast is from the Twilight Realm. It is rumored he was once a Twili, cursed because of his lust for power. He only appears at night, out of nowhere, and attacks with no provocation, leaving nothing behind in his wake. He can be heard coming by listening to an eerie, thunderous rhythmic beat that gets louder and louder. It is said that if his body can be materialized it can wield countless benifits to item-making.
Attack patterns: Without a special means of seeing a Bongo Bongo, he will only appear as a giant, shapeless cloud of black sand which is impossible to damage. Bongo Bongo attacks by slamming his arms into the ground with enough force to flatten anything in his path and cause great quakes and shockwaves. Once you are able to see it, you can attack his red eye to damage him. Only then can his body materialize to be attacked normally. Twili are able to see Bongo Bongo without means of magic or an item.
Regions: Hylia Mainland

Masked Jungle Warrior
Odolwa
Description: A 15-foot tall giant of wood, similar to an African tribal warrior, with a large feathered mask, an enormous sword and shield. Its wooden body is ordaned with many colors in tribal markings.
History: A witch doctor deep in the land of Termina, with his last dying breath, enchanted his soul into that of a large wooden statue he spent his life creating. Thus he became the fierce warrior Odolwa. Odolwa was, in life, abused by the Deku Scrub kingom, which he lived near to. Now, in death, he has made it his mission to make their lives a living hell, terrorizing their settlements and taking hostages in demand for riches.
Attack patterns: Odolwa fights like a tribal dancer. Despite being so large, he is very light on his feet as he leaps about, releasing warped battlecries and chanting encantations. He can summon spirits to attack the very souls of his enemies as well as cast a spell on them if he wishes to use them later. He is difficult to defeat, but not impossible, and must be outsmarted to be slain.
Region: Woodfall.

Gargantuan Killer Fish
Titan Gyorg
Description: Titan Gyorg look like enormous killer bass or pirahna, able to swallow a horse whole. They have striped colors about their bodies.
History: Even deadlier than regular Gyorg are the Titan Gyorg that exist in saltwater. They are almost as infamous for wrecking boats as Grand Octo, but are far more voracious as they are carnivorous and rarely satisfied with their hunger. As hunters of man they often wield valuables within their bellies.
Attack patterns: Titan Gyorg will attempt to swallow its prey with a single passing. Its strategy is simplistic but it is so large and fast in the water that it does little to inhibit it. There is no easy way to defeat a Titan Gyorg. Use whatever means necesary.
Region: The Great Bay, and the Great Sea

Giant Armored Insect
Twinmold
Description: Actually two enemies(one red, one blue), Twinmold are twice the size of regular Moldorm.
History: A pair of gargantuan Moldorms that once destroyed an entire civilization deep in the desert. They are always seen together and are rumored to be the original mother and father of all Moldorms.
Attack patterns: Twinmold can both fly through the air and swim through the ground, making them twice as dangerous. Twinmold are the largest beings in Hylia. To attack them blindly is suicide, as they will not even notice you. However, whoever can find a way to defeat these two colossi will be rewarded with fantastic items.
Regions: Deserts, the skies.

Dark Spectre
Gomess
Description: A black cloak and hood with two beacon-light eyes hiding within and wielding a large massive scythe, Gomess is a Garo grown much larger. He is constantly floating through the air, surrounded by Keese.
History: Gomess was once a Garo, but sold his soul to dark forces for strength and transformed into the vampiric Gomess. Now he does what he pleases throughout the Ikana region, attacking both regular races and Garo alike. He is everyone's enemy. It has been rumored by many a Gossip Stone that whoever can defeat Gomess will become an eternal ally of the Garo, who will from then on risk their very lives to protect said slayer of Gomess.
Attack patterns: Gomess can swing with his scythe as well as summon thousands of Keese to do his bidding. These Keese are vampiric, attempting to suck the blood out of their opponent to feed Gomess, who can also come in close to drain them of their blood. Gomess thrives in the darkness, but cannot stand the light. It is the bane of his existence.
Region: Ikana Valley

Carnivorous Hanging Guarden
Kalle Demos
Description: An enormous colorful bulb, held up on the ceiling of a cave or in the trees by various vines that attach to them with hooks. Below it are a mass of tentacles with scythes and spines along their tips. Within the bulb is a small Deku Baba-like head.
History: Kalle Demos are at the top of the food chain in the Forbidden Woods of Windall Island. They eat up anything that comes their way, and as such house some interesting items in their belly.
Attack patterns: The first step to defeating a Kalle Demos is to snap off the vines that hoist it up in the air, forcing it to the ground to bloom, at which point the small Baba head, the 'heart' as it were, is easy pickings. It will spit out everything it has consumed.
Region: Forbidden Woods.

Undersea Disaster
Grand Octo
Description: An Octorok ressembling a giant squid in both appearance and size, easily twice as big as a double-decker bus, sometimes bigger.
History: The worst threat in the high seas is the Grand Octo, a monstrous squid-like beast with two extra long tentacles and multiple eyes allowing it to see and attack anything. It has sunken countless ships. Its coming can be foretold by a cloud of seagulls that hover out in sea where they know it will rise and destroy.
Attack patterns: Grand Octo use their massive tentacles and ability to fire large boulders from their snouts like cannons through and out of the water to sink ships and take everything with them to the watery deep. Their weaknesses are their eyes, and each Grand Octo has a different ammount of eyes ranging from two to even ten strewn across its body.
Region: The Great Sea

Guardian of the Gods
Gohdan
Description: A massive Tiki-style stone head with a headdress much like an Incan crown. It has glowing red eyes where its sockets reside. It also has two large stone hands that float by its side, with eyes on the palm of each. It is the size of a two-story house.
History: Guardian of the Tower of the Gods, so it seems. Gohda is known to only appear as a test for those who willingly accept the challenge located deep within the temple. As such, it is not considered an evil being. It never kills, and it is undefeated. Whoever can defeat Gohda will be granted a unique and powerful treasure.
Attack patterns: Gohda's three parts behave independantly of each other. While the two hands can do slamming attacks and fire lasers from its eyes, as well as energy balls from its mouth. One must be aware that it is not an evil enemy. Ocassionally it will even drop extra stock of items such as arrows and bombs from its nostrils to grant you a fair fight using whatever items you have. The only way to defeat it is to attack all four of its eyes, but doing so is no easy task.
Region: Tower of the Gods

Cutthroats' Ultimate Weapon
Helmaroc King
Description: A tropical Kargaroc that has grown to incredible size, it is likened to an actual Roc(A giant elephant-eating bird of Arabic myth) in size. Its colors are elaborate as it has long feather tails similar to those of a phoenix trailing behind it and massive wings with white and red tips. Its body is a dark blueish hue, and its face is covered in an elaborate, seemingly indestructible "helme" that guards its face.
History: The captain of the Cutthroats was able to tame this enormous beast, and it has been the secret weapon to the pirates' activities ever since. If the pirates so feel like selling "insurance" to a boat or settlement, it is the Helmaroc King they are insuring safety from. If the pirates are in over their heads in a battle, the Helmaroc King turns the tide to their favor. It was this powerful bird combined with the cunning of the captain of the infamous pirates that make them the most powerful pirates in the Great Sea.
Attack patterns: Helmaroc King swoops in from high like a bullet to clench its talons into its prey, or attack with its diamond-hard beak. Its wings can create powerful gusts of wind. If one is able to find a way to destroy the Helmaroc King's helmet, they can attack its head and down the avian monster more easily. To defeat the Helmaroc King is to cripple the Cutthroats.
Region: Roost is in the Forbidden Fortress, yet it rules over all of the Great Sea.

Giant Enigmatic Poe
Jalhalla
Description: A large, obese Poe in a sense with a strange mask covering its face and a large lantern able to house a person.
History: A giant 'tropical' Poe seems festive in appearance but is destructive in nature. It haunts the Tetra Isles at night, using the open flames from its lantern to cause large fires.
Attack patterns: Jalhalla uses the fires that spew from its lantern as its only means of true offense. It can also possess an adventurer as well as blow gusts of wind strong enough to blow them into the air. Using light-based attacks one can solidify him and slice through him like paper, ripping him up into several smaller masked Poes which must be destroyed. Once the lantern shatters and the soul is dispersed, all that is left is Jalhalla's mask, which wields interesting effects when worn.
Region: Tetra Isles

Monstrous Sandworm
Molgera
Description: A layered sandworm as wide as a Twinmold, but only half as long. Its mouth consists of a huge set of boneless jaws with a blueish tongue inside. Its offspring are human-sized versions of itself.
History: Molgera is considered the Twinmold of the Tetra Isles, and not excluded to just deserts as Molgera will crash into an island from the skies, sapping it of its nutrients and leaving it a barren wasteland. It's enormous mouth can swallow a wagon with two horses whole. Because of its size and age, though, it is very very rarely seen.
Attack patterns: Molgera's jaws will rise out of the sand, causing a quicksand trap much like an antlions to try and drag victims into its waiting maw. However, in this lies its weakness; the blue tongue that dangles in the air when Molgera's mouth is open is used to taste for prey through the winds. It is also directly connected to its nervous system.
Region: Tetra Isles

Armored Tank Dinosaur
Helmasaurus Rex
Description: About 15 feet high and twice as long across, the Helmasaurus Rex(or H-Rex for short) is a monstrously large Helmasour, now with a less stubby and more grand appearance, standing on large elephant like legs, it is similar to a Styracosaur in appearance, save that its headcrest is much larger and wraps over most of the front half of the H-Rex, fitting neatly in place for maximum possible mobility. Its tail is spiked and clubbed like a mace.
History: For such a large creature, H-Rex actually needs to feed very little, which can explain why it makes its home in the canyons of Hylia, where water is plentiful but vegitation is scarce. It is said to hide incredible treasures in its lair.
Attack patterns: Like normal Helmasaurs, Helmasaurus Rex will not attack unless it is threatened, or its territory or posessions are also in jeopardy. It will charge blindly forward into the opponent to try and trample them into the ground into a bloody pulp. The only means of effective damage lie in attacking its backside, but its tail makes this very very dangerous.
Regions: Canyons of Hylian mainland.

Final Nightmare
Dethl

History: A being of nightmares, it is responsible for putting many people throughout Hylia into comas, and thus, neverending nightmares. It is a being that can only be encountered in the dreamworld of one's mind, and as such cannot be engaged by normal means. To defeat Dethl would mean awakening all those in a coma from Dethl's spell.
Attack patterns: Dethl will attempt to recreate your darkest nightmares. If you are overcome by your fears and pains, you are lost forever in a coma by Dethl. However, if you are courageous enough to rise above your nightmares, you can attack Dethl's main body, using your personal-image body and weapons against him.
Region: The dreamworld.

Amphibious Dragon
Aquamentus
Description: A towering green dragon, poised on long legs and ressembling more of a Brachiosaur(but without such a long neck) than a traditional dragon, though it still has wings(which seem more ornamental than functional). It has a short neck and long fangs, and a unicorn-like horn atop its head.
History: An ancient dragon, there is nothing specific about this dragon except that no one knows where its lair is. As such, even if you slay the dragon it may not reap any benefits if it is miles or whole regions away from its lair. Aquamentus can be found in both Hyrule and Termina as well as the Tetra Isles depending on the time of year, so his lair(most definitely filled with riches) could be literally anywhere.
Attack patterns: Aquamentus has the uncanny ability to fire three balls of fire at once in a radial circumferance in front of him. Aside from that and his brute strength, he is still an average dragon.
Region: Unknown.

The first is most of its body underground, revealing only its toothy mouth and long anemone-like tentacles through which a singular ameoba-like eye is able to pass through. The second is when it rises from the water bed as a long, massive armored eel. In this mode the eye rests atop its head.
History: Morpheel is considered the Twilight counterpart of Morpha. The scourge of the Twilight Seas, Morpheel can attack from the depths of the ocean by sucking in water and creating whirlpools, meaning one may never even know they were attacked by it.

History: Stallord was once alive, a great draconic giant that ravaged the Twilight Kingdom. However, a great Twili hero rose up, using an ancient sword passed down by his people to silence the beast once and for all.

Attack patterns: Stallord is enormous. Damaging it seems impossible. Perhaps a way to break the curse...
