Frypolar

is a spirit of ice and fire which serves as mini-boss of the Sword & Shield Maze in.

Characteristics
Frypolar will regularly shift between the two elements of ice and fire during the battle. In its fire form, it is capable of shooting multiple fiery geysers that will harm Link upon contact. In its ice form, however, it will create pillars of ice from the ground, which also serve as a hazard to Link. Link may either shoot Ember Seeds when it is in ice form to inflict damage, or may alternatively sprinkle a Mystery Seed on an ice pillar to make them smaller. The latter can be picked up with the Power Bracelet, and thrown at the boss to cause it massive harm. When it is in its fiery form, Link may also shoot a Mystery Seed at it to make it change element, making the process faster.
