-'''Abysmal Leviathan Tentalus''' is the boss of the Sandship in ''Skyward Sword''. The fight starts out in the control room beneath the ship. As you make your way back to the deck, Tentalus will send it's tentacles through the walls. Link must use a Skyward Strike to sever them. Upon reaching the ship deck, Tentalus will attempt to grab you with it's tentacles. These must be cut with a [[Skyward Strike]]. Tentalus will appear from the water. His single eye must be hit with an arrow at this time. Tentalus will fall. Link must run up to him, cut the tentacles surrounding his face, and attack the eye with his sword. After repeating twice more, Tentalus will begin to destroy the deck. A block will fall down and Link will have to climb it to reach the upper deck of the ship. Here, tentacles will begin to attack you by growing heads and charging. Use the same strategy as before to eventually defeat Tentalus.
+'''Abysmal Leviathan Tentalus''', more simply known as '''Tentalus''', is the [[boss]] of the [[Sandship]], the fifth [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.

+==Appearance==
+Tentalus is an immense, humanoid, octopus-haired monster. It has a single red eye on his face, and its skin is a mottled blue-purple.
+==Battle==
+===First Phase===
+{{image|file=1228.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Attacking one of the tentacles|size=300px}}
+{{image|file=1229.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Link caught by a tentacle|size=300px}}
+Tentalus' battle is possibly unique in the series in that the battle does not take place in the boss chamber of the ship. Instead, Tentalus attacks the Sandship as [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] enters the chamber, and he must escape from the depths of the ship, using [[Skyward Strike]]s on the tentacles forced through the hull. The battle officially begins on the deck of the ruined ship, where Tentalus reveals its body and the title card is shown.
+After the title card is shown, Tentalus dives beneath the ship and begins pushing its tentacles through the ship. When some of its tentacles are severed, Tentalus resurfaces and attempts to strike Link with its massive arms.{{Ref|SS|2065|[[Fi]]}} Tentalus' eye is its weak spot.{{Ref|SS|2066|[[Fi]]}} Meaning Link must shoot long-range projectiles, such as an arrow, to injure Tentalus.{{Ref|SS|2067|[[Fi]]}} The process continues until Tentalus begins destroying the lower deck, forcing Link to climb to the upper deck. Its tentacles grow mouths and attempt to strike Link several at a time.{{Ref|SS|2069|[[Fi]]}}
+During the battle's first phase, the Skyward Strike must be used horizontally or diagonally in order to sever the tentacles and reveal Tentalus. Reminder, the Skyward Strike can be charged when walking, which is necessary during this battle. When Tentalus emerges and hits the deck with its arm, Link has a chance to hit it with an arrow in its eye. Tentalus' head will fall to the deck, where Link can strike the eye with his sword. This process must be repeated, with Tentalus using more tentacles and withdrawing its arm faster as the battle progresses.
+===Second Phase===
+{{image|file=1230.jpg|align=left|type=caption|caption=Shooting Tentalus in the eye|size=300px}}
+{{image|file=1231.jpg|align=right|type=caption|caption=Using the sword against Tentalus's eye|size=300px}}
+When Tentalus has taken enough damage it will begin destroying the deck, causing a box to fall from an upper level. Link must avoid rolling barrels to climb the box and reach the upper deck. At this point Tentalus will begin sending masses of mouthed tentacles at Link. These can be defeated with a single sword slash, though wide slashes are recommended.
+After destroying enough of the tentacles Tentalus will roar at Link, giving him a chance to strike its eye and cause it to fall to the deck. Link can then strike at it with his sword.
+After Tentalus is defeated, it leaves behind a [[Heart Container]] and reveals [[Nayru's Flame]].
