Armos Knight (Link's Awakening)

The  Armos Knight  is a mini-boss from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It guards the Ancient Ruins in the Face Shrine region of Koholint Island.

Battle
When Link enters the Armos Knight's chamber, it remains utterly motionless. As Link approaches, however, the creature comes to life and charges the hero. The Armos Knight slowly loses its armor as it takes damage, rendering it more vulnerable but granting it greater agility.

While the Armos Knight's armor is on, arrows are the only thing that can damage it. Once its armor has been destroyed it becomes vulnerable to Link's sword. It attacks by running towards Link and pounding the ground to stun him. Link can use the Roc's Feather to avoid the shockwaves of the pound attack. Upon defeat Link will receive the Face Key and be granted access to the final chamber of the Ancient Ruins where he finds out the secret of the Wind Fish.
