Volvagia

Volvagia is the fifth boss from Ocarina of Time and resides in the Fire Temple. It is unknown how he flies without the aid of wings or any other flight-capable appendages.

Appearances

Volvagia appears as a large, red, orange-bellied snake. He has two arms each with three fingers. Perhaps the most interesting feature of Volvagia's appearance is the rock-like 'mask' on his face. It has two large curved horns. A fiery mane protrudes from the back of his head.

History

He was a plague to the Gorons and was renowned for his insatiable appetite for them. He was finally defeated and put to rest by the Hero of the Gorons using the legendary hammer. Volvagia was actually dead prior to the game taking place but, as of Ganondorf's conquer of Hyrule, he was re-animated by Ganondorf. This was to make an example of the Gorons to anyone who dare defy him.

Strategy

The arena Link faces Volvagia in is octagonal with lava pits in. One of the pits will spew small amounts of lava and the dragon will stick his head out. Link must then hit him with the Megaton Hammer, stunning him and leaving him vulnerable or risk being whipped by Volvagia's fiery mane. After this, he will fly out of the hole and breath fire and cause rocks to fall from the ceiling. As the battle goes on, several lava pits will spew lava and Link will find it more difficult to predict where Volvagia will appear.
