Pairodds are enemies in Link's Awakening.

Pairodds are stocky bird-like enemies, having sharp bills, that can be found only in Key Cavern and Turtle Rock.[1] Usually, they appear in twos.[2] These enemies can teleport themselves from one place to another when Link comes close to them.[3] When they stop, they will fire star-like Projectiles at him. This star-like Projectile can be hard to avoid and does a whole heart of damage, so Pairodds can be very tricky enemies.

Once Link knows where they teleport to, he can quickly run or jump to that spot and be ready to attack before they can escape. He also can attack them from a distance when using a long-ranged weapon such as the Bow or Magic Rod. With the Pegasus Boots, Link can dash towards them, destroying them quickly.
