Gibdo: Difference between revisions

Gibdos make their first appearance in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. They can be found in [[Level 5: The Lizard|Level 5]] and [[Level 8: The Lion|Level 8]] in the First Quest, and [[Level 2 (Second Quest)|Level 2]], [[Level 4 (Second Quest)|Level 4]], and [[Level 7 (Second Quest)|Level 7]] in the [[Second Quest]]. They require multiple hits via the [[Magical Sword]] to be vanquished. If they manage to hit [[Link]], they deal a tremendous amount of damage.{{Ref|[[:File:The-Legend-of-Zelda-North-American-Instruction-Manual-Page-37.jpg|''The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet'' (US NES Version), pg. 37]]|The Mummy Man.

[[File:Gibdo-1.png|left]]Gibdos first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' as [[Link]] is traveling through the [[Skull Woods (A Link to the Past)|Skull Woods]] dungeon. Gibdos are mummified undead enemies that wander around. They move in straight lines, slowly making their way toward Link. Their only form of attack is simply to run into Link.

If [[Link]] gets caught in their line of sight, Gibdos will paralyze him for a few seconds, giving them a chance to get close and potentially jump on top of him, biting on him. Link can play the [[Sun's Song]] to stun the Gibdo momentarily, allowing him to sneak behind the enemy and deliver sword slashes. Alternatively, Link can also use [[Deku Nut]]s to stun a Gibdo. Outside of the cosmetic appearance, Gibdos are completely identical to [[ReDead]] in terms of functions.

The Gibdos from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'' appear around the [[Gerudo Desert]] and [[Gerudo Town]]. They are weak to elemental attacks such as Fire and Electricity, which effectively kill them in one hit. They drop [[Gibdo Bone]]s and occasionaly [[Gibdo Guts]] which can be used in weapon fusion and elixirs respectively. There is also a variant known as the [[Moth Gibdo]] which possesses wings. The Gibdo can appear out of pods that can be destroyed with [[Riju]]'s lightning.

[[Link]] and Riju eventually discover that the Gibdos invading Gerudo Town and the surrounding area and coming from the [[Queen Gibdo]] at the [[Lightning Temple]].
