Boss 5: Digdogger

"Big sea urchins. In spite of their big bodies, they shrivel up when attacked. But watch out! They come on pretty strong."

-The Legend of Zelda manual

Within the highest north areas of death mountain is a region not unlike the lost woods from the southwest. Similarly dubbed the lost hills, it is an area filled with air so thin, and so mind-altering, that it is known to drive any passerby to the brink of insanity and grant them the inability to discern the direction in which they are heading. It is in this general location that highland Lynels are the most common, feral and diseased, and exceptionally dangerous. At a lonely peak is an ancient acropolis carved into the mountain, containing a large hieroglyphic mural near the entrance inside. The mural displays a group of armed men fighting a giant lizard, believed to depict the slaying of a dragon by Hyrule’s early royal army, thousands of years ago. Though reliefs and images of lizards can be seen all over, the structure is said to house a shrine dedicated to an all-seeing eye and is believed to contain an enchanted instrument. The all-seeing eye was allegedly the most followed demon of centuries past, as it was perceived to be very wise. Due to this, the largest concentration of Gibdo are found within the temple, and it is one of the deepest sections of the underworld in all of Hyrule. In some of the lowest depths, the demon awaits, solitarily floating through the air, resembling a gargantuan sea-urchin with a lone eye at its center. In these depths, the air is nearly unbreathable and toxic, expelled through pores in the demon's skin. Completely covered in poisonous barbs, the monster's defense is nearly impenetrable, though it has one weakness; due to spending the past centuries in solitude and complete silence, any sounds it hears are magnified to the point of causing extreme pain.
