LD-002G Scervo

LD-002G Scervo, also known simply as Scervo, is a mini-boss from from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. He is formidable warrior encountered on the Sand Ship in the Lanayru Sand Sea. Wielding an over-sized hook and an electrified sword, Scervo stole the Sand Ship from LD-301N Skipper some time in the past.

Battle
After Link finds the first small key on the Sandship, he can take it to the locked door on the first floor and make his way outside the ship once more. When he steps onto the plank of the ship, a spiked gate activates behind him, forbidding exit and causing damage when touched. Scervo will then appear at the edge of the plank. In order to defeat Scervo, Link must knock the robot back with enough successful sword strikes until the it almost falls off the plank. When Scervo is on the edge, he will make the spiked gate move forward, giving Link less room for error. After repeating the process a few times, Scervo's sword will break. A few consecutive sword strikes will cause his hook to break as well, and the robot will fall. After he dies, Link will be rewarded with the Bow.

Etymology
His name seems to be a portmanteau of the words scurvy, a disease that plagued many sailors and pirates due to a lack of fresh fruit on the high seas, and servo, short for servomechanism, a part used in mechanical devices.
