Spiny Beetles are enemies that first appeared in Link's Awakening. These beetles hide under various items in the overworld or dungeon.
Appearances
A Link to the Past
- Main article: Hoarder
The A Link to the Past variation of the Spiny Beetle is nearly identical to its other counterparts. The Nintendo Player's Guide refers to these creatures as Hoarders.
Link's Awakening
The Spiny Beetle is also an enemy from Link's Awakening. They are known for hiding under bushes, rocks, and skulls. Often they cannot be seen until Link comes near, at which point they stand up and reveal that they have been hiding beneath the object. The Spiny Beetles under bushes can be easily killed with the sword, but for the variations with skulls or rocks, Link must first lift the object off of their back with the Power Bracelet. When their hiding place is removed or destroyed, they can be harmed.
Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons
The Spiny Beetle appears in the two Oracle games, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. They are identical to their Link's Awakening counterparts and behave in the same manner.
