Gohma
Gohma is a boss in Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 with 10 health.
Navi's advice
It's one of the parasitic monsters inside the Deku Tree! Its eye is vulnerable when it's red!

Boss of the Deku Tree, titled the armoured parasite. Shoot its eye with the slingshot the moment it turns red, then slash it while it is stunned. When it climbs to the ceiling it drops eggs, which should be smashed before they hatch.

Hit her eye with the slingshot when it turns red, then slash her while she is stunned. She lays eggs that hatch into larvae.
When his sword glanced off, he let fly with his slingshot just as the beast's eye flashed red.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo of America, 1998), p. 31
Stun her eye with the Slingshot when it turns red, then move in with the sword. Her larvae attack only when their single eye turns red.
Wait for her eye to shine red before stunning her with a Deku Seed from your Fairy Slingshot!
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Prima Publishing, 1998), p. 12
The armoured spider parasite's weak spot is its huge red eye; a Deku Nut or slingshot shot turns it green and stuns Gohma briefly so Link can hit the eye.

After some hits Gohma climbs to the ceiling, where a slingshot shot to the eye makes it fall and stay stunned longer.
