The Rock Octorok is the volcanic Octorok. It breathes in before spitting a flaming rock, and it will suck up weapons or bombs that come near its mouth. It has only 8 health, so one solid hit ends the fight. The real danger is its flaming rock, not the creature, so wait for it to inhale, sidestep the shot, then close in.

Where to find it
You will meet it in the rocky, volcanic land of Eldin Canyon and in the Gerudo Highlands, usually crouched among boulders. It stays hidden until you come near, so a rock or mound of stone that looks slightly out of place deserves a second look before you walk past.
How to beat it
Spot it before it pops up
Watch for the disguise. Once you step inside its range it rises out of cover and turns toward you.
Deflect the shot
It inhales and then fires. Its explosive rock cannot be parried back, so strafe to one side and let it explode. It inhales whatever is thrown into its mouth, so do not throw weapons at it. A Remote Bomb dropped in its path while it inhales, then detonated once it swallows it, finishes the job; so does a melee hit or an arrow.
Finish it
Run in and hit it, or fire an arrow from range. With 8 health almost any weapon kills it in one hit. If it ducks back underground, approach again and it will resurface.
