Zelda Oracle of Seasons Bosses

Description

....WOW, I've been gone a long time. And here is the headline of my awaited-by-nobody return: the bosses from Oracle of Seasons. I did Ages a while ago, and I promised everybody that I'd do this one next. And just like last time, I worked on it forever and it STILL looks like crap. Since a lot of bosses from Oracle of Seasons were reused bosses from the first Zelda, I reused a lot of artwork for this one. Yes, I know, I should be ashamed of myself. Thankfully, my description should be shorter this time, since I'm only going to babble on and on about the new drawings.
Goriya Bros: I wanted to update them with a Twilight Princess-style appearance. I thought they should dress kind of like Link since they use a similar weapon. Since they're dogs, I also made them Keatons! Those guys (and Goriyas) need to be in a new Zelda game. It's hard to tell, but since they work for Twinrova, I put sun and moon crests on their wrist guards.
Facade: Since he's made out of...floor...my first thought was to make a face pattern out of those living tiles that drive you crazy. But then I thought it would also be cool if I made them Tile Worms (from Twilight Princess) instead. Which actually fits, because Facade summons bugs during the battle with him! The idea here would be to take out the tile worms and drop bombs down his holes.
Calamareye: They're like mini-Bellums. So that's what I made them. I gave them body paint too. Why, I don't know.
Mothula: You cannot make a better Mothula than the Wind Waker version. I tried, and I screwed it up. I put sun and moon symbols (for Twinrova) on its wings, as well as the symbols of the four seasons. I tried to make the dark pattern around the autumn symbol look like a leaf. He also had a stinger now. Because. I had an idea for the fight with Mothula: he would scatter Twilight shards and form portals, which its babies would come out of.
Agahnim: Everyone knows that Agahnim is both a Sheikah and one of those Arabian Smurfs from Four Swords Adventures (I think they're called Zunas). So that's how I drew him! I think the whole "Middle Eastern ninja" thing would actually be a good look for him.
Syger: I wasn't quite sure how to make a tiger fit into Zelda. I thought it would be cool if his stripes were the grid of a giant Twilight emblem. So he's kind of a Twilit Tiger. That could be his title. I thought of a cool way to fight him too: you have to hit the jewel on the end of his tail. I made the jewel a metal shard instead. So the idea would be to pull his tail toward you with your Magnet Gloves and slice him.
Poe Sisters: Again, I used the sun and moon symbols to show their loyalty to Twinrova. I also thought it would be awesome if their weapons' swings made a long, continuous curve.
Gleeok: I cut out one head, so he has only Fire and Ice heads. So he should be in the final dungeon, not the Explorer's Crypt. Oh well. I didn't draw his skeleton form because I'm lazy. Sorry.
Frypolar: I thought it would cool if his face was two rotating masks that changed when he changed temperature. I also had an idea for his origins: he's actually a being that was created by the fire and ice heads of Gleeok before he died.
Medelock: She's called Medusa Head in English, but Medelock is a lot cooler. I didn't give her snake hair because it just didn't seem to fit in with the hair shape of her sprite. And I don't think that this characters needs to rip off of Castlevania any more than it already did.
Onox: When i first saw art of Zant, I immediately thought "Holy crap, that's Onox!" Unfortunately, it was not. So I decided to make Onox a cross between Zant and an Iron Knuckle. I think it came out pretty well.
Dark Dragon: I based his body shape off of Stallord, since they're basically the same thing: They're dragons, you only see them from the waist up, they're gigantic, and their weak point is something stuck in an awkward place on their foreheads. I made Dark Dragon's gem the Shadow Crystal from Twilight Princess. I thought it was fitting. I wanted to give him sharp, bony armor, kind of like Gleerok's in The Minish Cap. The sharp ridges fit in with the shape of Onox' helmet too. His arms aren't supposed to be short; it's supposed to be foreshortening. I have a strong feeling that i failed at it.

...okay, so that wasn't any shorter than my Oracle of Ages ramble, since I wrote twice as much about each boss. Sorry I had to subject you to that.

To be honest I imagine the bosses and mini-bosses in this game looking more draconic for I can see them as Onox’s force as well as him having a humanoid dragon appearance before transforming to the Dark Dragon for that would be his true appearance what do you think of this headcanon?
