Eyerok

Eyerok is an entity consisting of two large stone hands, and it first appears in Super Mario 64. Eyerok has only appeared in a few games, but it is featured as a boss in each of its game appearances. 
== Physical description ==
Eyerok's hands are made up of stone bricks with a sandy texture. An eye is on the palm of each hand, both with blue pupils, and the eyes are Eyerok's weak point in all of its appearances. Eyerok is based on a golem, a mythical creature said to have been brought back to life through magic and enchanted earth. 
== In ==
=== Super Mario 64 ===
Eyerok is the boss of Shifting Sand Land, specifically during the course's fourth mission Standing on the Four Pillars. Eyerok resides in a hidden chamber within the pyramid, but Mario must find a secret entrance to reach his room. To do so, Mario has to stand on top of all four of the pillars, which results in the peak of the pyramid rising up and breaking, revealing an opening that leads down on an elevator taking Mario directly to Eyerok's room.
Eyerok is fought on a platform surrounded by pits on three sides. He can attack by slamming down his fists on Mario, which causes Mario to lose three units of health from his Power Meter. Eyerok also tries to push Mario off the platform into a dark pit below, and doing this causes Mario to lose a life. Eyerok can only be attacked when its eyes are open, which is only when one of the hands aren't attacking. After both of his eyes have been punched three times, the Eyerok is defeated and breaks into pieces, revealing a Power Star.
=== Super Mario 64 DS ===
Eyerok is fought the same way in Super Mario 64 DS. Here, Luigi and Wario can also fight the Eyerok, while Yoshi cannot break the Block obstructing Eyerok's chamber, unless he wears another character's cap and then changes back to regular Yoshi before entering the chamber. Yoshi can defeat Eyerok with Sweep Kicks or by burning it by swallowing some fire from the nearby torch. Additionally, Luigi can easily reach the ledge leading to Eyerok's room without the need of standing on the pillars by doing a backflip and spinning to the ledge.
== In Mario Kart DS ==
Eyerok made a reappearance in Mario Kart DS, as the second boss of Mission Mode. Mario is the character selected to fight Eyerok. Incidentally, Mario is the only character to face Eyerok like in the original Super Mario 64.
To attack Eyerok, Mario has to throw a Green Shell at its eye. Both of Eyerok's hands move up and down to try and avoid the Green Shells. After the first hit, Eyerok starts to use an attack in which its hands clench into a fist-like shape, protecting its eyes, and slam onto the ground. If Eyerok smashes Mario, he loses a balloon. After the second hit, Eyerok moves around more quickly, and it often tries to face away from Mario. After three hits, Eyerok is defeated, regardless of how many times either eye was hit), and during the victory fanfare, both of Eyerok's hands shake before breaking apart.

== Trivia ==
*Eyerok has the most health out of any boss in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, given how it takes six hits to completely defeat, three per each hand. On the other hand, Bowser takes only three hits to defeat in each of his battles, including the final battle at Bowser in the Sky.
*Eyerok is similar to Rollodillo from Super Mario Galaxy 2 as both bosses have the most amount of hit points.
*In the original Super Mario 64 Eyerok originally had the same sound as the Whomp King, but in Super Mario 64 DS, he was given his unique sound effects.
*His character is similar to the Knucklotec from Super Mario Odyssey.
*Originally, Eyerok had no name and they were called "the ancient ones." However, the Eyerok was named in the Nintendo Player's Guide.
*Eyerok prefers to speak in first person, as evident in the pre-battle and post battle dialogues. 
*The Snow Ogre from Mario Tennis Aces strongly resembles the Eyerok, although a major difference is that the Snow Ogre is composed mostly of ice rather than stone.
