Though not officially named in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Dacto appear as pterodactyl-like enemies with a single horn on their head. They only appear in the [[Dark World]] and sit perched on top of trees until [[Link]] draws nears. When Link is close, they will begin to fly around, aggressively attacking Link. These attacks can be quite damaging, doing three full hearts of damage. They do have a bit of health as well, with Link needing two strikes form his [[Master Sword]] to defeat a Dacto.
Though not officially named in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Dactos appear as orange pterosaur-like enemies with fangs and a single horn on their head. They perch atop the trees in the [[Dark World]] until [[Link]] approaches, at which point they will persistently attempt to fly into him until they are defeated or Link moves into the next screen or uses the [[Pegasus Boots]] to run away far enough from them to make them disappear.


Even if a Dacto misses Link on its first attempt to fly into him, it will continue to aggressively attack Link. The Dacto will attack until it has been defeated, Link has moved on to the next screen, or if Link uses the [[Pegasus Boots]] to dashes far away, causing the enemy to appear off screen.
Dactos are rather dangerous enemies, as they are highly persistent and their attacks are capable of inflicting three full hearts of damage. They are also somewhat durable, requiring two strikes from the [[Master Sword]] to be defeated.
 
Dacto are the more aggressive counterparts to the [[Crow]]s that appear in the [[Light World]].

These enemies only appear in [[Lorule]], most often in areas surrounding dungeons. Dacto have the exact same attack pattern as crows, and can be easily defeated with the sword.
