Skyward Sword
 [hide] | These monsters have inhabited the desert for eons. Their defining characteristic is an ability to internally generate electrical energy.
It is also said they live to a very old age. Their shells are able to disperse weight surprisingly well, allowing them to safely traverse desert sink sand. - Fi |
Ampilus is an unusual crab like desert-dwelling enemy who's only mode of attack is rolling at Link with it's shell electrically charged. On the inside of its hard spiral shell is a soft crab. The simplest way to kill the Ampilus is by blowing it up with a bomb. The other way to kill the Ampilus is to stun it by either shield bashing it or leading it into a wall. Once it is stunned you can easily destroy it by hitting it with your sword.
When caught in a time shift zone Amphilusses turn into a baby that can only harm Link when he is holding them. The babies give off a periodical electric charge which is used to turn on the power to the nodes.
