Magma

Magma is the first Orelan boss you fight. Magma is an oversized Giant Orelan.

Biography
Magma is a Giant Orelan who is much bigger than an "average" Giant Orelan. It has no identifiable gender but can be speculated to be a male. It has a missing arm, a huge hole filled with lava surrounding the eye on the left and a large hole in its chest with lava pouring out of the hole. Magma has one sharp tooth instead of four square teeth.

You meet Magma at the end of the mission Rock Bottom. You enter a giant room with a hole in the middle of the room filled with lava. Two Orelings pull a chain each that opens a giant bar gate protecting a room seen as darkness. Magma emerges from the room and kills the two Orelings and then the battle starts.

Strategy
To defeat Magma, you have to hit the large hole in its chest with a giant cannon that emerges from the lava every time Magma accidentally punches the wall. You need to hit the boulder the cannon fires into the hole on Magma's chest. Once you do this three times, you have finally defeated Magma.

Attacks

 * Slam Bam - Magma swings its hand at you. This can knock you into the wall, summoning the cannon.
 * Magma Smash! - Magma punches the ground five times. This is a devastating attack.
 * Volcanic Scream - Magma spews a large amount of lava from its mouth. Burning is caused.
 * Boulder Toss - Magma rips off a piece of the ground and tosses it at you. It's easy to dodge but very dangerous.

Trivia

 * Magma's original name was Rocky, but it was changed for unknown reasons.
 * In the Spanish version of the game, Magma's name is 'Roca Muy Caliente', which means 'Very Hot Rock'. It also looks much more different, having many spikes on its shoulders and back and having fire on the tips of the spikes. It also has a giant cannon-like hole on the top of its head, which resembles a volcano.
 * However, in the French version, Magma's name is 'La Mort de Fu', which means 'Fiery Death'. It closely resembles Magma in the English version except it's more cracked.
 * Apparently, as seen in the Sunken Scrolls, Magma lost its left arm to Cap'n Cuttlefish. This may be why King Gold seems to despise Cap'n Cuttlefish more than other Inklings.
 * Magma is King Gold's pet. This may be why it's in a cage, unlike other Orelans.
 * To add to this, in the French version, it appears to have a metal collar around its neck.
 * Fans call Magma the weakest boss in the game.
