Eyerok

"Who... walk... here? Who... break... seal? Wake... ancient... ones? We no like light... Rrrrummbbble... We no like... intruders! Now battle... ... hand... to... hand!"

- Eyerok



Eyerok is a golem-like entity in Super Mario 64 that guards a Power Star in Shifting Sand Land. He resides in the central pyramid and is composed of two massive, stone hands with eyeballs in the palms. His chamber is a platform with a pit on three sides, which is inside a large red brick block in the pyramid. He slams down his fists which take away half your life each hit, and tries to push you off the platform. The player must punch his eyes (when open) a few times to defeat him, though the player needs to destroy each hand.

It is a possibility that Eyerok didn't have the star, but a unknown creature or spirit inside the coffin at the front of the chamber, since the star is seen coming out of the coffin.

Eyerok also appears in Mario Kart DS, as the second boss in Mission Mode. Mario needs to shoot three green shells at any eye to defeat Eyerok.

Trivia

 * Eyerok can also be split into two words Eye and rock, which may be how Nintendo created the name.
 * Eyerok is the only Super Mario 64 DS boss that isn't a large variation of a generic enemy.
 * When you defeat Eyerok, he'll say, "Grrrrumbbble! What...happen? We...crushed like pebble. You so strong! You rule ancient pyramid! For today... Now, take Star of Power. We...sleep...darkness."
