Geru are lizard-like warriors who appeared in Hyrule all of a sudden. They fight primarily using maces and defend themselves with a shield. They can be commonly found in forests and graveyards. They do not appear in the Palaces, so it is likely that they are followers of Ganon.

    Wait, wait... Is there any kind of connection between 'Geru' and "Gerudo"? I've always wondered what, if anything, the different names of the races meant; what with "Hylian" being derived from the name of the Goddess Hylia.

    Sounds like another Nintendo-naming mystery to ponder until a book comes out, or it gets revealed in a future game... *Goes to look up if Geru means anything anyway*

    This is all i could find,it's interesting nonetheless. Geldman's name is similar to that of the Geldarm, another desert-faring creature. In Japanese, "Geld" is written and read the same as "Gerudo", suggesting a connection between the sand monsters Geldarm and Geldman, and the desert or beach-dwelling Gerudo race featured in later games. This connection is lost in translation.

    Very cool, 'Dorf! I did some research of my own and found this: "The names of the Gerudo and Gerudo Desert were likely chosen based on the enemies introduced in 'The Adventure of Link' and 'A Link to the Past', the sand-dwelling Geldarm and Geldman. One page in 'Hyrule Historia', showing the Gerudo Typography, implies that Nintendo originally intended for the Gerudo to be translated as Geldo...

    [Cont.]... Gerudo is similar to the name Gerardo, which comes from Gerard, meaning 'courageous' and 'spear'.
