Pages 27 and 73.</ref> are a variant of [[Thwomp]] found exclusively in [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', and they return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]''. In their debut appearance and its [[reissue]]s, Spiked Thwomps are gray, but in the ''Oracle'' games, they are blue.

Spiked Thwomps have one eye, similar to smaller [[Thwimp|Thwomp]]s, and a few spikes on each side except the top, which is a flat surface that can be used as a platform. Like other Thwomps, Spiked Thwomps can only be found in side scrolling areas, and are found at the top of a ceiling, awaiting [[Link]] to pass by. Whenever Link approaches a Spiked Thwomp, it falls down to try and squish him. A Spiked Thwomp's eye looks in whichever direction Link is at. From a certain height, Link can use the [[Roc's Feather]] to jump onto a Spiked Thwomp. Sometimes Link has to stand on a Spiked Thwomp to reach higher areas. Even while Link is standing on a Spiked Thwomp, it continuously falls and rises.

Though Spiked Thwomps do not appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Thwomps have their behavior from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, acting like Spiked Thwomps.
