Soldiers who turned to stone and are able to move only if Link touches them. You don't have to be too afraid of one because its offensive power is not very strong. Remember not to touch Armos when you pass by him. As long as you don't touch Armos, he stays as harmless as stone. Don't ask for trouble. The only exception is when Armos has some kind of secret. The only way to know if Armos is hiding a secret is to bring him to life.
