==Characteristics==
'''Podoboo Towers''' are enemies in {{OoA}} and {{OoS}}. They are a variation of the [[Podoboo]], which are directly based on the {{Smw|Lava Bubble}} enemies (previously known as Podoboos) of the ''{{Smw|Mario (series)|Mario}}'' series. Unlike regular Podoboos, which jump out of fire or pools of lava, Podoboo Towers are pillar forms of the enemy with fireball body segments.

Podoboo Towers appear in [[Subrosia]], predominately at [[Lava Lake]], in {{OoS}}. When they emerge, they stay in place and occasionally release fireballs at [[Link]] to push him into the lava. After a short while, they will sink back from where they came and soon resurge. Digging up earth with the [[Shovel]] in Subrosia may sometimes dig up a Podoboo Tower. They can be defeated with [[Sword]] slashes.

==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
 
Podoboo Towers live in or near boiling pools of lava. When they emerge, they stay in place and occasionally release fireballs at [[Link]] as their only method of attack. In certain areas with narrow pathways between lava pools, their attack can prove more dangerous as it can push Link into the lava. After a short while, they will sink back from whence they came, but will soon reemerge from the same place and commence their attack again. Unlike normal Podoboos, Podoboo Towers can easily be defeated with a few simple [[Sword]] slashes. However, some can be hard to reach as a result of living in pools of lava.

==Nomenclature==
In {{OoA}}, Podoboo Towers infest the burning ruins of [[Symmetry City]] in the present. In {{OoS}}, they appear in the subterranean land of [[Subrosia]], predominately at [[Lava Lake]]. In Subrosia, digging up earth with the [[Shovel]] may sometimes dig up a Podoboo Tower.

Podoboo Towers are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] They are directly based on the Lava Bubble enemies, also known as Podoboo, of the Mario series.

Characteristics

Oracle of Seasons

Podoboo Towers appear in Subrosia, predominately at Lava Lake, in Oracle of Seasons. When they emerge, they stay in place and occasionally release fireballs at Link to push him into the lava. After a short while, they will sink back from where they came and soon resurge. Digging up earth with the Shovel in Subrosia may sometimes dig up a Podoboo Tower. They can be defeated with Sword slashes.

Oracle of Ages

Podoboo Towers infest the burning ruins of Symmetry City in Oracle of Ages. When they emerge, they stay in place and occasionally release fireballs at Link. They can be defeated with Sword slashes. Once Link fixes the Tuni Nut and Symmetry City is restored, Podoboo Towers will disappear from the City.
