Skyward Sword
Ampilus is an unusual crab-like desert-dwelling enemy who's only mode of attack is rolling at Link with its shell electrically charged. On the inside of its hard spiral shell is a soft crab. The simplest way to kill the Ampilus is by blowing it up with a Bomb. The other way to kill the Ampilus is to stun it by either shield bashing it or leading it into a wall. Once it is stunned you can easily destroy it by hitting it with your sword.
When caught in a Timeshift Stone-affected area, Ampilus turn into babies that can only harm Link when he is holding them. The babies give off a periodical electric charge which is used to turn on the power to the nodes.
