Phytops

Phytops, Barbed Menace, is a boss from, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. It is a squid-like creature with barbs on it's tentacles. It has a bulbous 'brain' that protudes from the top of it's head. It is the gaurdian of The Ocean Temple, and a tower must be scaled before reaching it. The barbs on it's tentacles are excellent weapons to turn against the spiky squid. Link must use his Whip, to pull of one of the barbs, when it's tentacles slam into the ground. He must then throw the barb back at Phytops, to reveal his eye. He must do this again, but hit Phytops in the eye. Stunned, Phytops flops on the side of the pool, leaving it open to attack. Phytops can also protude funnel-like structures from it's head, which then release poisonous globs of purple slime. After each barrage of attacks Link does, it descends ito the pool, and extends two more tentacles, in the attempt to crush Link. Once the process is repeated two more times, Phytops screams in agony, and is defeated.

Etymology
Phytops is likely dervived from Cyclops, as Phytops only has a single eye.
