[[File:Helmasaur-1.png|left]]Helmasaurs can be found at the [[Dark Palace]] and [[Ganon's Tower]]. They have a hard green mask for a head, while the rest is a soft brown body susceptible to most weapons. Their only form of attack involves charging toward [[Link]], which takes out half a heart with regular armor. They can be dealt with much faster by using the [[Magic Hammer]] due to it being able to be damaged anywhere. It can also be turned into a weak [[Slime]] using [[Magic Powder]] or destroyed quickly using the [[Bombos Medallion]].
