Seen in many games throughout the series, <b>Helmasaurs</b> (also known as <b>Iron Masks</b> or <b>Hiploops</b>) are dinosaur-like enemies who make use of their hard masks in their front as a defense against most weapons. The easiest way to damage them is from behind or to forceably remove their masks by various means.

Lastly, the boss of the [[Dark Palace]] is the [[Helmasaur King]] a larger version of these enemies.

===Link's Awakening===

===Majora's Mask===

Called by their original Japanese name in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', <b>Hiploops</b> are encountered in both the [[Woodfall Temple]] and the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. In the game, they charge at Link many times knocking him off the edge of something. Without their masks on they look more like insects in this game, then the dinosaur look seen in the other games of the series. Link can turn the enemies around by using his shield, or taking off their mask using the hookshot.

===Four Swords===

Called Hiploops once again, these enemies make a return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. In this game they are red, with a pointed helmet (making them look more like Iron Masks from the ''Oracle'' games and ''Link's Awakening''). They will charge at Link, in which he must dodge and then slash at their exposed back.
