==A Link to the Past==
'''Snap Dragons''' are plant based enemies that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.
The '''Snapdragon''' is a common enemy in the [[Dark World]]. They hop around biting anyone that comes into contact with them.
 
According to the folklore, Snapdragons were created as the result of a [[Mad Alchemist]]'s plant experiments.{{Ref|[https://www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album{{=}}288&pid{{=}}8429#top_display_media A Link to the Past Instruction Manual], pg. 45|This strange creature was created as a result of a mad alchemist's plant experiments. He uses his tooth-filled maw to snap at anything that gets in his way as he hops about.}} They are resembling large plant with dragon-like mouths full of sharp teeth.

===A Link to the Past===
[[File:Snap-Dragon-2.png|left]]Snap Dragons are one of the first enemies Link encounters near the [[Pyramid of Power]] in the [[Dark World]]. They are often found alongside larger groups of enemies, Snap Dragons hop around, trying to run into [[Link]]. They hop around rather slowly, but if Link draws near, they can quickly run in his direction. These enemies are unique in that they can only move diagonally. This leaves an opening in their defense, as Link can safely approach them from the sides.
 
Despite their rather simplistic look, these enemies can deal quite a bit of damage. If they come into contact with Link, they will do three full hearts of damage. They can also withstand some damage themselves, with Link needing three strikes from the [[Master Sword]] to defeat them.
 
Snap Dragons are one of the many enemies where Link can sprinkle [[Magic Powder]] on them, causing them to transform into [[Slime]] creatures.
