'''Cue Ball''', also known by the name '''Water Cephalopod'''<ref>[http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/w.jsp#WaterCephalopod Water Cephalopod entry at Zelda.com's Encyclopedia]</ref>, is a large octopus-like creature from {{LA}} that first appeared as a mini-boss in the water-filled labyrinth of [[Angler's Tunnel]]. The front of its body is heavily armored and cannot be harmed. The only weak point on its body is their tender backside, which [[Link]] must exploit with the edge of his sword. This is easiest done by waiting for it to pass by and striking from the side, but it is also possible for him to chase it down with the [[Pegasus Boots]]. Upon each hit, Cue Ball will spin and change direction. It's possible for Link to equip the [[Roc's Feather]] and leap over Cue Ball as he passes beneath Link in the longer straightaways and then strike him. Once defeated, Link will gain access to the [[Flippers]].
 
 
Cue Ball later returns in [[Turtle Rock (Link's Awakening)|Turtle Rock]], known there alternatively as '''Fire Cephalopod'''.<ref>[http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/f.jsp#FireCephalopod Fire Cephalopod entry at Zelda.com's Encyclopedia]</ref> While it behaves the same as its aquatic variation, it now swims around a pool of lava, making the battle considerably more challenging for Link. In this dungeon, Cue Ball guards the room where the [[Nightmare Key]] is hidden.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*Cue Ball is known as {{Romanize|ヒップループホバー|Hippurūpuhobā|Hiploop Hover|2}} in Japanese, connecting it to both [[Helmasaur]]s (known as {{Romanize|ヒップループ|Hippurūpu|Hiploop|2}} in Japanese) and [[Water Tektite]]s (known as {{Romanize|ホーバー|Hōbā|Hover|2}} in Japanese). It shares its armored head and weak behind with Helmasaurs. Both enemies appear in the [[Angler's Tunnel]] along with Cue Ball.
 
*In {{OOT}}, [[Big Octo]] is very similar in weakness, with its backside being the weak point. However, there is the extra step of hitting it with the [[boomerang]] in order to make the spot open revealing a green attack point.
