Bokoblins have a much different visual look in ''Skyward Sword'', taking on a more [[Moblin]]-like appearance. Some of them have small caps on top of their heads, wear bandannas or masks, and sometimes even have beards. These differences do not seem to have an effect on how they battle. They also have an apparent affinity for exotic undergarments.{{Ref|SS|1969|Fi}}

Bokoblins are common enemies, found in almost every location throughout the game. When they detect Link's presence (except for the Bokoblin Archers), they sprint toward him and strike at him with their weapons. Some also hold horns which they blow to call out reinforcements. These are the most common enemy in the game, and are found in every region.
<b>Bokoblin Leader (Blue)</b>


===Red Bokoblin===
These Bokoblins look much like regular Bokoblin except for the hat they wear, which signifies their status. Bokoblin Leaders will use their horn to call other Bokoblin to fight, and will continue to do so until Link kill it.
{{main|Red Bokoblin}}


The Red Bokoblin is the standard Bokoblin. They are the most common and the weakest. They come in three different types: normal ones that wield swords or clubs, [[Red Bokoblin (Archer)|Archers]], and [[Red Bokoblin (Leaders)|Leaders]].
<b>Bokoblin Leader (Red)</b>


This version of the Red Bokoblin has two black horns on its head and wears a leather vest and loincloth. Normal Bokoblins wield rusty machete-like swords when found in [[Faron Woods]] and a club covered in spiny green vines when found around [[Eldin Volcano]] and block Link's slashes. They move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from Link's blade.
These Bokoblins look much like regular Bokoblin except for the hat they wear, which signifies their status. Bokoblin Leaders will use their horn to call other Bokoblin to fight, and will continue to do so until Link kill it.


There are two main ways to defeat this type. Link can perform a carefully timed shield bash when they attack staggering them making an opening in their defense. This way is only useful when facing a single Bokoblin.
<b>Bokoblin (Red)</b>


The second method of defeating them is taking the offensive and attacking the area that is not blocked by its weapon. This is a better tactic when facing multiple enemies because hitting a Bokoblin also staggers them leaving them open for additional attacks.
Bokoblins have a much different visual look this time around, taking on a more moblin-like appearance. They are commonly found in both field and dungeon areas. When they detect Link's presence, they will sprint towards him and strike with their sword.  


They occasionally drop [[Ornamental Skull]]s or [[Golden Skull]]s when defeated.
Bokoblins wield small swords and will use them to block Link's attacks. They will move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from his blade. Three successful hits from the Goddess sword will defeat a Bokoblin.


{{clear}}
In the Eldin Volcano region, there is a different type of Red Bokoblin that will carry a club wrapped in vines.


====Leader====
If Link shoot a Bokoblin with the Slingshot it will become dizzy for a couple of seconds, allowing Link to get in a couple of sword slashes.  
[[File:Bokoblin-02.png|150px|thumb|right|Red Bokoblin (Leader)]]Red Bokoblin Leaders have the same look and tactics as the sword Bokoblins, the only difference being the blue cap it wears and the [[Monster Horn (Skyward Sword)|horn]] it carries.{{Ref|SS|1970|Fi}}
If a Leader spots Link, it utilizes its horn as an alarm calling for backup. In the beginning, the only way to get rid of this horn is to defeat the Leader. However, once Link has completed the [[Ancient Cistern]] and obtained the [[Whip]], he can now use it to steal the horn from the Leader's waist belt. This does not defeat the Bokoblin; it simply steals the horn.  


They occasionally drop a Monster Horn when defeated.
Bokoblin are afraid of bombs and the Beetle, so if Link either carries a bomb or flies the beetle towards them, they will run away.  


{{clear}}


====Archer====
<b>Bokoblin Archer</b>
Archers are characterized by a skull cap and a bandanna covering its mouth. Every different colored Bokoblin Archer behaves generally the same way. When they spot Link, they raise an alarm much like the Bokoblin Leaders. Archers attack from a distance.{{Ref|SS|1973|Fi}}
Although the Archers range can be dangerous early on in the game, it only takes one hit to take them out.


Bokoblin Archers are often found atop towers. Link can use Bombs to destroy the towers, bringing the Bokoblins down with them. Unlike the other Bokoblins, they do not sprint toward Link, but instead shoot Arrows at him. They are pretty much defenseless in close quarter combat, usually only requiring a single sword strike.
Bokoblin Archers can be found patrolling the Summit of Eldin Volcano and the Fire Sanctuary. Archers come in both Green and Red colors, and can be easily defeated with arrows from a distance, or the sword or bombs if Link get close.  


{{clear}}
<b>Bokoblin Archer (Green)</b>


===Cursed Bokoblin===
Bokoblin Archers can be found patrolling the Summit of Eldin Volcano and the Fire Sanctuary. Archers come in both Green and Red colors, and can be easily defeated with arrows from a distance, or the sword or bombs if Link get close.  
{{Main|Cursed Bokoblin}}
[[Cursed Bokoblin]]s are zombified enemies found within the underground section of the [[Ancient Cistern]]. They are much slower than the normal variation and do not have a sword to block Link's attacks. However, they are much tougher than they look, as they can take a seemingly endless amount of hits from Link's Sword. The most efficient way to defeat them is by using the [[Fatal Blow]] once they have been knocked down. Also, when Link brandishes any of the shields in the [[Sacred Shield]] series, the Cursed Bokoblins appear to be afraid of the shield and begin to retreat back from Link.{{Ref|SS|1980|Fi}}


In the battle with [[Koloktos]], the boss has the ability to summon a small horde of Cursed Bokoblins. They are much easier to defeat because Link can defeat them with an ordinary sword strike, and there is no need for a Fatal Blow. They come in groups of three or four. When Link fights them outside the boss room, they often appear in huge numbers and, sometimes, if Link does manage to defeat one, another takes its place. They are also able to follow Link across many obstacles, such as climbing ropes.
<b>Bokoblin (Blue)</b>


{{clear}}
These Bokoblin act much like their other kind, except they are colored blue. They can be found in Faron Woods only after completing the area for the first time.
 
{{Clear}}
===Blue Bokoblin===
 
 
The Blue Bokoblin is a very stronger variation of the standard Red Bokoblin. Because of this extra strength, it is much tougher to defeat. It has the same attack patterns as the Red Bokoblin, but has different clothing and skin color because of the fact that it hails from a different environment.{{Ref|SS|1971|Fi}}
 
{{clear}}
 
===Green Bokoblin===
 
 
Green Bokoblins wield hammers and are seen to be wearing white skull caps and tooth necklaces. They are basically a dungeon version of the Red Bokoblin, but take slightly more damage.{{Ref|SS|1976|Fi}}
These also come in an Archer variety which looks exactly the same as a Red Archer, only green.{{Ref|SS|1977|Fi}}
They enjoy caves, and because of this, the color of their skin has turned green.
 
{{clear}}
 
===Technoblin===
{{Main|Technoblin}}
 
[[File:Technoblin.png|175px|thumb|right|Technoblin]]
Technoblins are ancient Bokoblins that had access to high tech weapons.{{Ref|SS|1972|Fi}}
These Bokoblins are often found when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated near a Bokoblin Skeleton in [[Lanayru Desert]]. The tactics for defeating this variation are the same as any other sword wielding Bokoblin. Link must be extra careful not to hit the sword they carry as it is electric and can be very dangerous to Link. If Link's Sword makes contact with this weapon, he is shocked and loses one heart.
 
When using a [[Shield]] against this type, it is best to use the [[Wooden Shield]], [[Sacred Shield]], or [[Hylian Shield]] because one strike from its weapon disintegrates an [[Iron Shield]]. When fighting a Technoblin that appeared in conjunction with a Timeshift Stone, if Link knocks it out of the time rift zone, it turns back into a skeleton.

=== ChuChu ===
=== ChuChu ===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', Chuchus appear in four variations: [[Green ChuChu]], [[Red ChuChu]], [[Blue ChuChu]], and [[Yellow ChuChu]]. They will crawl toward [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] and try to absorb him (if they are large enough), which will cause Link to take damage should he remain inside them long enough. When hit with a sword, they will split into two smaller Chuchus. These smaller ones will attach themselves to Link, slowing his movements, as well as inflicting damage should they stick to him long enough. If left alone, two smaller Chuchus will merge.

=== Deku Baba ===
=== Deku Baba ===
Deku Babas in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' resemble their earlier counterparts, but the method to defeat them has changed quite a bit. No longer can Link just use the sword to cut off the head of Deku Babas, but instead, he needs to make precision sword slashes in the proper direction in order to harm them. There are two variations of Deku Baba within ''Skyward Sword'', a standard blue one, as well as a more powerful golden variation.
[[File:Deku-Baba-Skyward-Sword.png|128px|right]]
{{Main|Deku Baba}}
Deku Babas greatly resemble their appearance from previous Zelda titles. They come out from underground and try to bite Link if he gets too close. A new feature is that when battling the Deku Babas, Link must slash in the direction that the enemy's mouth is open. Some Deku Babas need to be sliced vertically while others need to be sliced horizontally. Alternatively, Link can toss or roll a bomb towards a Deku Baba and it will gobble it up before exploding within its mouth.


Deku Babas come out from underground and try to bite Link if he gets too close. They open up their mouths horizontally or vertically and Link must use a proper sword slash to separate their mouths into two. Alternatively, Link can toss or roll a bomb towards a Deku Baba and it gobbles it up, causing the bomb to explode within its mouth.
Some Deku Babas can be seen hanging from walls or the ceiling and they are out of reach from Link's sword. In order to defeat these fellows, Link must use the beetle or arrows. After sending out the beetle, Link can track its direction so that it cuts down the deku babas from their stems, causing them to fall to the floor in defeat. Link can also use his bow and arrow to cut these deku babas from their stem, or shoot them in the mouth to kill them directly.

After sending out the Beetle, Link can track its direction so that it cuts down the Deku Babas from their stems. Unlike in ''Twilight Princess'', once a Deku Baba is cut from its stem, it will be defeated. Link can also use the Bow and Arrows to cut these Deku Babas from their stems.
 
Link can find Deku Babas in the [[Faron Woods]], the [[Skyview Temple]], certain time-shifted areas of the [[Lanayru Desert]], and [[Sky Keep]].

=== Furnix ===
=== Furnix ===
'''Furnixes''' are man-sized birds found exclusively in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They can be found in the [[Ancient Cistern]], [[Skipper's Retreat]], and [[Sky Keep]]. Their method of attack is flying down close to [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] and spitting a spread shot of three fireballs at Link. They have loops connecting to their tails that allow Link to pull them to the ground using the [[Whip]]. Once the Furnix is on the ground, it can be easily dispatched with the [[Sword]]. Once Link acquires the [[Bow]], he can easily defeat the Furnix from a distance. Furnix resemble [[Kargarok]]s from previous titles.

{{clear}}
These large birds are found in the Ancient Cistern. They can only be defeated after obtaining the Whip, and Link will need to use it to pull the enemy down by its tail. Once this is done, Link can then attack it with the sword to defeat it.

{{Main|Guardian (Skyward Sword)}}
<b>Guardian (Earth)</b>


'''Guardians''' are powerful creatures Link encounters during the [[Silent Realm]] trials in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They serve as an opposing force that Link must overcome in order to collect the [[Sacred Tear]]s. If one of them lands an attack on Link, then he is forced to leave the Silent Realm, losing all gathered tears. They are effectively invincible owing to Link's inability to use his sword or any other items inside the Silent Realm, so his only options are to keep them dormant or avoid them.
These creatures roam the Silent Realm and will kill Link in a single blow. If Link steps in Waking Water or does not find a Tear in 90 seconds after starting or finding a previous Tear, they will activate and chase after him. If Link collects a Tear of Light, Earth Watchers will go inactive for a period of 90 seconds.


Initially dormant, all Guardians activate as soon as Link first steps outside the protective circle at the entrance of the Silent Realm. Afterwards, they can be deactivated for 90 seconds by collecting a Sacred Tear. Re-entering the protective circle temporarily calms the Guardians, or pauses the timer if active, for as long as Link remains inside the circle. When deactivated, Guardians return to their original locations no matter how far they have moved.
<b>Guardian (Flying)</b>


If the 90-second timer runs out before another Sacred Tear is collected, all Guardians wake up and begin chasing Link, hoping to shatter his spirit and end his trial. Stepping in [[Waking Water]] or being caught in the light from an Earth or Sky [[Watcher]] also immediately activates all Guardians.

Some Guardians appear in humanoid form and wield massive clubs. These can run fast, but cannot pass through certain obstacles. Others do not have legs but instead glide through the air. They can pass through obstacles and even follow Link up ladders, trying to catch him with their two blades.

=== Keese ===
=== Keese ===
[[File:Keese SS.png|right]]
[[File:Keese-Large.png|128px|right]]
Keese reside in the overworld and within dungeons. When they swoop low enough to be within reach, [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can use a sword slash to defeat them, though Keese can be defeated with almost weapon in Link's arsenal. For example, Link can defeat multiple Keese at once with a single crack of the whip.
{{Main|Keese}}
Keese serve the same purpose that they have in previous Zelda titles. They are bat-like creatures that fly around the overworld and within dungeons with the primary purpose of trying to dive into Link. When they are low enough to the surface, Link can use a sword slash to defeat them. Alternatively, they can be defeated with almost any weapon that Link has in his arsenal. Furthermore, Link can defeat multiple keese at once with a single crack of the whip.


Following the game's art style, Keese have a somewhat cartoonish and very colorful appearance. As with the most games, variations of regular Keese also appear.
Keese attack by diving at Link to bite Link, and they will only do so when their eyes turn red.  
 
{{Clear}}
===Dark Keese===
{{Main|Dark Keese}}
 
Dark Keese are an enemy in ''Skyward Sword''. If Dark Keese touches Link he becomes cursed and will not be able to use any of his items or equipment including  his sword. Because of this, be extra careful when facing them.
 
===Fire Keese===
{{Main|Fire Keese}}
 
Fire Keese can be found around [[Eldin Volcano]]. They can still be defeated with the sword, but if they touch Link he will catch on fire.

===Thunder Keese===

This new variation of Keese, named [[Thunder Keese]], resides in the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]]. They are yellow in appearance, and, like many enemies there, surround themselves with electricity when attacking. Wait until the sparking stops to strike.

=== Moblin ===
=== Moblin ===
Moblins in ''Skyward Sword'' have changed in appearance quite a bit. Now they are fat, red skinned, humanoid with noses, floppy eared similar to a canine, and are bigger than [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] himself. Moblins are among [[Demise]]'s worshippers, and work under [[Ghirahim]] in their master's absence. Moblins are a very common enemy when revisiting [[Faron Woods]] and drop a lot of rupees.

<b>Moblin (Wooden Shield)</b>


===Wooden Shield Moblin===
A Wooden Shield Moblin is a giant purple monster that holds a spear and a large wooden shield. The moblin uses the shield to block Link's attacks, although it isn't very sturdy. Link can slice the shield into pieces, leaving the moblin vulnerable to sword attacks. The moblin's primary attack is using its spear to wind back and deliver a thrusting blow at Link. Link can quickly dodge the attack and deliver a counter sword slash during the recoil period.

=== Octorok ===
=== Octorok ===
Octoroks are now land creatures and they seem to resemble their counterparts from older 2D ''Zelda'' titles. They also have some similarities to [[Deku Scrub]]s from previous ''Zelda'' games. Octoroks shoot rocks toward Link, but whenever [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] comes close, they hide under patches of grass or rock. In order to defeat an Octorok, Link can deflect the rocks back by lunging his shield forward knocking the rock back towards the enemy. Link can also use the [[Whip]] to pull the Octorok up from underground for a short period of time, allowing him to slash away with the Sword.

{{Main|Quadro Baba}}
 
The Quadro Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. It will attack Link in the same ways as a standard deku baba by lunging towards Link, attempting to bite Link. Its mouth is divided into four parts, rather than the two halves that a standard deku baba will have. This will allow the quadro baba to alternate directions in which its mouth opens, meaning Link will have to slash either horizontally or vertically, depending on how its mouth is open. Additionally, unlike standard deku babas, quadro babas take multiple hits to defeat and can be quite challenging.

The Quadro Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. It attacks Link in all the same ways that a standard Deku Baba does by lunging towards Link and attempting to bite him. Its mouth is divided into quarters, rather than the two halves of a standard Deku Baba. The Quadro Baba changes how its mouth opens mid-battle, sometimes opening horizontally and other times opening vertically. Link needs to read which way the mouth opens and quickly deliver a sword slash in the proper direction. Quadro Babas are also a bit stronger and takes multiple hits to defeat. They can also dodge attacks by moving sideways, leaving Link open to attack. Much like standard Deku Babas, Link can toss or roll a bomb towards the Quadro Baba to defeat it. The fastest way to defeat these is to shield bash when the Quadro Baba attacks, and slash its stem while it is stunned.

=== Quadro Baba ===
 
A '''Quadro Baba''' is a new variation of the [[Deku Baba]] found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. The Quadro Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. They are gold in color and attack [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] in the same fashion as a standard Deku Baba by lunging towards Link, attempting to bite him. Its mouth is divided into four parts, rather than the two halves of its standard counterpart. This allows the Quadro Baba to alternate directions in which its mouth opens, meaning Link has to slash either horizontally or vertically, depending on how its mouth is open.
 
Although it takes longer, the Quadro Baba can also be defeated by using a lunge attack no matter which way the mouth is open. Once the [[Bow]] is obtained, the Quadro Baba can be swiftly defeated from a distance with a single shot to the mouth. Additionally, unlike standard Deku Babas, Quadro Babas take multiple hits to defeat and are considered to be quite challenging.
 
Quadro Babas can be first found in the [[Deep Woods]]. They are also found within the [[Skyview Temple]], but later on in the game, they are found throughout the Overworld, including the [[Faron Woods]].

=== Spume ===
=== Spume ===
 
[[File:Toadpoli-SS-Art.jpg|128px|right]]
'''Spumes''' are a common enemy that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They shoot projectiles at [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] that, unlike those of [[Octorok]]s, cannot be reflected with the [[Shield]]. Because Spumes appear in pools of lava or quicksand, they cannot be defeated with [[Sword]] attacks. The only way to defeat them is to use projectiles, such as [[Arrow]]s, [[Bomb]]s, or a [[Skyward Strike]].
{{Main|Spume}}
 
{{Clear}}
===Magma Spume===
{{Main|Magma Spume}}
 
Magma Spumes can be found swimming in pools of lava. They hop up from the lava to spit out fireballs toward Link that can destroy Link's [[Wooden Shield]]. Link can use the Sword or Shield to hit the fireballs, causing them to dissipate. Since Magma Spumes are found in lava, Link cannot use the Sword to defeat them; instead, he has to rely on Bombs and projectile weapons such as the [[Bow|Bow and Arrow]]. Link can also use the stone balls to roll over and crush them.
 
===Cursed Spume===
{{Main|Cursed Spume}}
 
The Cursed Spume is similar to the Magma Spume, but spits curses rather than molten rock. If the curse hits Link, he is unable to use any item for a limited time, similar to the effects of [[Bubble]]s in many games. Like all other variants, Link must use a projectile or a Bomb to defeat them.
 
These appear only after Link has completed the first three dungeons.
 
===Electro Spume===
{{Main|Electro Spume}}
 
The Electro Spume is the same as the other two types of Spume, but differ due to them spitting electrically charged balls at Link, which can destroy Link's [[Iron Shield]]. Link must use a projectile or a Bomb to defeat them.
 
These appear in [[Lanayru Desert]], and other areas with quicksand.
 
===Water Spume===

Staldra is a dragon-like enemy with three heads. To defeat Staldra, Link must use a single sword slash to attack all three heads in a row. If Link only hit one or two of the Staldra heads, then the chopped off heads will quickly grow back, restoring Staldra to full life.


'''Staldra''' are enemies that appear exclusively in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
Each of Staldra's eyes are a Electricish-blue color. However, when Link come near, the eyes of Staldra will turn red and it will dash forward trying to attack Link. This can easily be avoided by just taking a step back or utilizing Link's shield.

'''Watchers''' are enemies that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
<b>Earth Watcher</b>


Watchers patrol the [[Silent Realm]] they are in, helping to protect it along with the [[Guardian (Skyward Sword)|Guardian]]s. Watchers are only present when Guardians are inactive. They do not obey the [[Sacred Tear]]s' rules, however, and regardless of how much time [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] has left on his Spirit Flower, they can still wake up the Guardians. They carry around lanterns, and if Link steps into the light, they scream and let the Guardians know that there is an intruder.  
These creatures float close to the ground in the Silent Realm. They carry a lantern, and will alert the Guardians to Link's presence if he steps in the lantern's light.
<b>Sky Watcher</b>
Sky Watchers work in tandem with the Earth Watchers to protect the Silent Realm.


There are two different types of Watchers, but they are almost the same. Sky Watchers fly around the sky in fixed routes and only alert the Guardians if Link steps into their light. Earth Watchers stay close to the ground and chase Link if they sense his presence near them, making him step in their light to alert him to the Guardians. They have a resemblance to [[Poe]]s due to their ghost-like appearance and their lanterns.
These Watchers are high in the sky and will chase after Link if he draws too close. If Link pass through this light, the Sky Watchers will set off a very loud sound. This will awaken the guardians and erase any protection time of the Tears of Light.

[[File:Demonic-KittySS.png|128px|right]]
'''Remlits''' are small, cat-like creatures found around [[Skyloft]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They are typically seen as pets, and have large ears that can act like wings if needed to. During the day, these animals are friendly and innocent, until nightfall strikes in which they become enraged and try to attack [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]].{{Ref|SS|1939|[[Fi]]}}
{{Main|Remlit}}
{{Ref|SS|1941|[[Fi]]}}
During the day, Remlits are normal cat-like creatures, but at night they turn into aggressive monsters that will attack Link. Link can't actually kill a Remlit, rather, hit it twice with his sword to stop it from attacking. If Link throws a Remlit after making it passive it will attack again, and the same will happen if they fall off the edge of Skyloft and fly back.
{{Ref|SS|3147|[[Instructor Horwell]]}}
{{Clear}}
It is said that many creatures, such as the Remlit, become possessed by evil forces during the night.{{Ref|SS|3149|[[Instructor Horwell]]}}
 
During the day, Remlits will playfully follow Link around, and during the night, they will aggressively chase after Link and attack him. Link can pick up any Remlit and toss them off the edge of Skyloft. The Remlit will then use its wing-like ears to fly back to the surface of the floating island where it was originally found. Remlits are also impossible to kill. Link may attack them, however, they will run away and cower in fear if he does. If Link waits too long or gets too far, they will resume their normal behavior.
 
After Link succeeds in collecting enough [[Gratitude Crystal]]s and transforming [[Batreaux]] into a human, there will be no more enemies at night in Skyloft. As such, Remlits will no longer transform into monsters.{{Ref|SS|1940|[[Fi]]}}

The Cursed Bokoblin is a form of undead zombie [[Bokoblin]]s that are encountered in the [[Ancient Cistern]]. They are only found on the lowest floor in that particular dungeon. They mindlessly walk toward [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] in large numbers. This enemy resembles [[ReDead]] from previous [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'']] games. When Link is attacked by one, it latches on to him and drains his health until he performs the [[Spin Attack]] to effectively throw the pesky creature off.

After Link has struck the enemy, he needs to perform the [[Fatal Blow]] to end its life. Rarely, Link can obtain an [[Evil Crystal]] upon defeating these mindless monsters. Later in the game, in [[Sky Keep]], Link can encounter them again when entering the Ancient Cistern themed room. There is a handful of them in the room along with a few [[Stalfos]] and also in the room with [[Stalmaster]].
These harrowing foes are encountered in the dark and dirty underground catacombs of the normally pristine Ancient Cistern. They will rise out of the ground, usually in large groups. They can't be defeated with a regular sword, unless the fatal blow is used. Until Link receive a more powerful sword or use one of Koloktos' swords, it is better to simply avoid them.

They can also be warded off with the [[Sacred Shield]] and all of its [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrades]].

Burr are spikey green balls that are found in the forest of Faron and in Skyview Temple. They will latch onto Link's leg when he steps on them, and will stay there until they are shaken off or they explode. This is the only way they attack, and will not harm Link if Link stay far enough away. From a distance, Link can use the Slingshot or the Bow to kill them. If this is not an option, Link can also slash at them with the sword from a distance to start the countdown until they explode.

Being found on the ground and in water, it is harmless when untouched, but if [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] comes into contact with a Burr, it attaches itself to him and turns red, exploding soon after.{{Ref|pg. 63|If they attach to Link, they'll turn red and eventually explode. |''Prima Games Skyward Sword Premiere Edition Strategy Guide''}}

The Burrs on the rope won't affect it, but you can shoot it with your Slingshot while it's trying to cross.|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Premiere Edition Strategy Guide''}}
Before Link makes contact with one, he can use his [[sword]] to hit the Burr, making it turn red and explode. Once a Burr attaches onto Link, he can use a [[Spin Attack]] to make it detach from his body.
 
While Burrs can be on the ground, they are often found stuck on tightropes.{{Ref|pg. 63|This rope bridging the gap above the waterfall lagoon area may have a pair of prickly Burrs stuck to it.|''Prima Games Skyward Sword Premiere Edition Strategy Guide''}}

After digging underground with his [[Mogma Mitts]], [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can find them crawling around in a continuous circle. If they spot Link, they'll charge at him immediately, causing a small amount of damage. Their backside is their sole weak point.

Pyrups are tiny seal-like creatures that hide inside walls or beneath rocks. They have a single antenna hanging from its head, the function of which is currently unknown. They attack by spraying a line of fire towards Link, and can also obstruct his path in this manner. They can be defeated by throwing a bomb into the hole in the wall they hide in or the rock they hide beneath, killing the enemy in the process.

=== Red Chuchu ===
Red ChuChus take on a new shape in this game, appearing more as rounded blobs than standing up creatures. Their mouth takes up almost all of their body, and the larger ChuChus can be split into smaller ChuChus before they are defeated. The Red ChuChu also has a new ability: fire. Red ChuChus in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' have fire embedded into their gelatin, making them extremely hot. If Link gets touched by one of the Red ChuChus, he will be set on fire and will have to roll on the ground or do a [[Spin Attack]] to put the fire out.

'''Ampilus''' are enemies from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 162}}
{{Main|Ampilus}}
 
Ampilus is a desert-dwelling enemy that looks much like a hermit crab; it will attack Link by rolling across the sand on its hard shell. Its body is electrified, and inside of its hard shell is a crab. When Ampilus stops moving, Link can walk up to it and slash the head with his sword to kill it. After a few seconds, the shell of Ampilus will explode, and a new Ampilus will crawl out of the sand to take its place.
Ampilus is an unusual crab-like desert-dwelling enemy whose only mode of attack is rolling at [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] with its [[electricity|electrically-charged]] shell . On the inside of its hard spiral shell is a soft crab. The simplest way to defeat the Ampilus is by blowing it up with a [[Bomb]]. The other way to defeat the Ampilus is to stun it by either shield bashing it or leading it into a wall. Once it is stunned, Link can easily destroy it by hitting it with his [[Sword]]. When defeated, it drops 5 [[Rupee]]s. When surfacing on streams of sink-sand, Link can defeat it and get on top of its shell to reach areas that he cannot reach without aid.

'''Ampilus Eggs''' are enemies found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.
{{Main|Ampilus Egg}}
 
{{Clear}}
Ampilus Eggs have the ability to give off electricity, allowing them to shock [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] if he comes into contact with them while they are electrified. Link can use these enemies to power the generators within [[Lanayru Desert]] during his mission to uncover the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]]. [[Ampilus]] grow from their larval stage of the Ampilus Egg very slowly. This is why the [[Timeshift Stone]]s are able to convert them from one form to another without making them disappear in the past like all other monsters that are from the present.
 
Since the Ampilus Eggs give off an electric charge, Link should use the [[Hook Beetle]] to transport the egg. Sword slashes and throwing can also be used when the egg is not giving off a charge, but these tactics are riskier, especially in hero mode when they deal more damage.
 
Ampilus Eggs cannot be killed. The hard outer shell protects the soft body on the inside.

Shake both controllers to shake them off. One Aracha is not so bad, but packs of them can cause a real problem. When confronted by a pack, Link can use the [[Gust Bellows]] to stun them. Then, a hit with his sword will finish them off. They can be found crawling around, in piles of sand, or crawling on vines. According to [[Fi]], Aracha can live for a thousand years and grow to immense sizes, implying that the boss of the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]], [[Moldarach|Thousand-Year Arachnid Moldarach]], is an overgrown Aracha, possibly the forbearer of the larvae in the rest of the dungeon.

Alternatively, [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] can simply shoot an arrow into its eye with his Bow. The Beamos will shoot out a laser beam from its eye dealing electrical damage and temporarily paralyzing Link, but this attack can be deflected using a non-metal shield, like the [[Wooden Shield|Wooden]], [[Sacred Shield|Sacred]], or [[Hylian Shield]].

Froaks resemble a puffer fish, albeit puffer fish which can float. Link needs to use the [[Gust Bellows]] in order to blow Froaks into walls, which makes them explode. Another effective strategy is to fly the [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]] directly into them.

The Froak is an enemy that Link encounter in the Lanayru Mining Facility. It will float around aimlessly with a smooth body, but when Link draw near it will shoot out the spikes surrounding its body. It will continue to float, but this time towards Link, and will damage him if it makes contact. Froak will explode when attacked or killed, so the sword is not the best way to deal with them.

They sit perched on top of dead trees, and take off if [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] or the [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]] approaches them. To attack, they fly above Link and attempt to drop a boulder on him.
These types of Octoroks are found in the present Lanayru Desert. They hide under a rock, and will only lift it up when Link are far enough away. They shoot rocks like all other Octoroks, which can also be deflected back at them. If Link have no shield to deflect with, Link can also roll a bomb at the Octorok or rock to kill it instantly.

Since they never land on the ground, Link must use a projectile weapon to defeat them. Link can pick up a [[Bomb Flower]] with the [[Beetle (Item)|Beetle]] and either drop it on the Hrok from above or run into it from behind.

In order to defeat an Octorok, Link can deflect the rocks back by lunging his shield forward knocking the rock back towards the enemy. Link can also use the [[Whip]] to pull the Octorok up from underground for a short period of time, allowing him to slash away with the Sword.
 
Very similar to its Grass counterpart, the Octorok (Rock) shoots projectile rocks at Link from a distance which he must deflect using his Shield or Sword.

The propeller on the top of its body make it appear to be a part of the Peahat and Seahat family. They will shoot rocks out of their eye to attack Link, but Link can deflect these back with his shield to kill the Sentrobe.


'''Sentrobes''' are flying robotic enemies that can be encountered within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They are armed with a cannon that fires projectiles. Their hull has two large parts on each side of its cannon, presumably making them invulnerable by horizontal sword slashes. Deflecting their attacks with a simple shield bash results in them attacking [[Link (Skyward Sword)|Link]] with Sentrobe Bombs. The Sentrobe itself will not come within reach of Link's [[Sword]]. Once destroyed, the Sentrobe drops a large crop of [[Rupee]]s. It can be assumed that they were made by the same civilization that built the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]] as a defense mechanism.
Sentrobe will also bring out two smaller enemies called Sentrobe Bombs that will fly towards Link and hover for a moment before exploding. Link will need to either horizontally or vertically slash them, depending on where the line through its body is located.

Bokoblin Leader (Blue)

These Bokoblins look much like regular Bokoblin except for the hat they wear, which signifies their status. Bokoblin Leaders will use their horn to call other Bokoblin to fight, and will continue to do so until Link kill it.

Bokoblin Leader (Red)

These Bokoblins look much like regular Bokoblin except for the hat they wear, which signifies their status. Bokoblin Leaders will use their horn to call other Bokoblin to fight, and will continue to do so until Link kill it.

Bokoblin (Red)

Bokoblins have a much different visual look this time around, taking on a more moblin-like appearance. They are commonly found in both field and dungeon areas. When they detect Link's presence, they will sprint towards him and strike with their sword.

Bokoblins wield small swords and will use them to block Link's attacks. They will move the sword from left to right, or hold it up, blocking directional attacks from his blade. Three successful hits from the Goddess sword will defeat a Bokoblin.

In the Eldin Volcano region, there is a different type of Red Bokoblin that will carry a club wrapped in vines.

If Link shoot a Bokoblin with the Slingshot it will become dizzy for a couple of seconds, allowing Link to get in a couple of sword slashes.

Bokoblin are afraid of bombs and the Beetle, so if Link either carries a bomb or flies the beetle towards them, they will run away.


Bokoblin Archer

Bokoblin Archers can be found patrolling the Summit of Eldin Volcano and the Fire Sanctuary. Archers come in both Green and Red colors, and can be easily defeated with arrows from a distance, or the sword or bombs if Link get close.

Bokoblin Archer (Green)

Bokoblin Archers can be found patrolling the Summit of Eldin Volcano and the Fire Sanctuary. Archers come in both Green and Red colors, and can be easily defeated with arrows from a distance, or the sword or bombs if Link get close.

Deku Baba

Deku-Baba-Skyward-Sword.png
Main article: Deku Baba

Deku Babas greatly resemble their appearance from previous Zelda titles. They come out from underground and try to bite Link if he gets too close. A new feature is that when battling the Deku Babas, Link must slash in the direction that the enemy's mouth is open. Some Deku Babas need to be sliced vertically while others need to be sliced horizontally. Alternatively, Link can toss or roll a bomb towards a Deku Baba and it will gobble it up before exploding within its mouth.

Some Deku Babas can be seen hanging from walls or the ceiling and they are out of reach from Link's sword. In order to defeat these fellows, Link must use the beetle or arrows. After sending out the beetle, Link can track its direction so that it cuts down the deku babas from their stems, causing them to fall to the floor in defeat. Link can also use his bow and arrow to cut these deku babas from their stem, or shoot them in the mouth to kill them directly.

Furnix

Furnix-SS.png
Main article: Furnix

These large birds are found in the Ancient Cistern. They can only be defeated after obtaining the Whip, and Link will need to use it to pull the enemy down by its tail. Once this is done, Link can then attack it with the sword to defeat it.

Guardian (Earth)

These creatures roam the Silent Realm and will kill Link in a single blow. If Link steps in Waking Water or does not find a Tear in 90 seconds after starting or finding a previous Tear, they will activate and chase after him. If Link collects a Tear of Light, Earth Watchers will go inactive for a period of 90 seconds.

Main article: Keese

Keese serve the same purpose that they have in previous Zelda titles. They are bat-like creatures that fly around the overworld and within dungeons with the primary purpose of trying to dive into Link. When they are low enough to the surface, Link can use a sword slash to defeat them. Alternatively, they can be defeated with almost any weapon that Link has in his arsenal. Furthermore, Link can defeat multiple keese at once with a single crack of the whip.

Keese attack by diving at Link to bite Link, and they will only do so when their eyes turn red.

Moblin

Moblin (Wooden Shield)
Moblin (Metal Shield)
Main article: Moblin

Moblin (Wooden Shield)

A Wooden Shield Moblin is a giant purple monster that holds a spear and a large wooden shield. The moblin uses the shield to block Link's attacks, although it isn't very sturdy. Link can slice the shield into pieces, leaving the moblin vulnerable to sword attacks. The moblin's primary attack is using its spear to wind back and deliver a thrusting blow at Link. Link can quickly dodge the attack and deliver a counter sword slash during the recoil period.

Moblin (Iron Shield)

An Iron Shield Moblin is a giant purple monster that holds a spear and a large Iron shield. The moblin uses the shield to block Link's attacks, and it is much sturdier than the wooden shield. The moblin's primary attack is using its spear to wind back and deliver a thrusting blow at Link. Link can quickly dodge the attack and deliver a counter sword slash during the recoil period.

The Quadro Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. It will attack Link in the same ways as a standard deku baba by lunging towards Link, attempting to bite Link. Its mouth is divided into four parts, rather than the two halves that a standard deku baba will have. This will allow the quadro baba to alternate directions in which its mouth opens, meaning Link will have to slash either horizontally or vertically, depending on how its mouth is open. Additionally, unlike standard deku babas, quadro babas take multiple hits to defeat and can be quite challenging.

Spume

Main article: Staldra

Staldra is a dragon-like enemy with three heads. To defeat Staldra, Link must use a single sword slash to attack all three heads in a row. If Link only hit one or two of the Staldra heads, then the chopped off heads will quickly grow back, restoring Staldra to full life.

Each of Staldra's eyes are a Electricish-blue color. However, when Link come near, the eyes of Staldra will turn red and it will dash forward trying to attack Link. This can easily be avoided by just taking a step back or utilizing Link's shield.

Earth Watcher

These creatures float close to the ground in the Silent Realm. They carry a lantern, and will alert the Guardians to Link's presence if he steps in the lantern's light.


Sky Watcher Sky Watchers work in tandem with the Earth Watchers to protect the Silent Realm.

These Watchers are high in the sky and will chase after Link if he draws too close. If Link pass through this light, the Sky Watchers will set off a very loud sound. This will awaken the guardians and erase any protection time of the Tears of Light.

The Sky

Green ChuChu

Green ChuChu
Main article: Green ChuChu

The small variant of this Greenish blue Chuchus is first found in the Waterfall Cave on Skyloft. It will slowly move towards Link, then gnaw on his leg when it gets close enough. One sword slash is enough to kill it.

The large variant is found in both Skyloft and the Ancient Cistern. Hit them with a vertical sword slash to separate it into two parts, then kill each part individually.

Sky Octoroks can be seen on various island floating within the Sky. These Octoroks shoot rocks at Link while Link are flying in the Sky, and are very accurate in doing so. They are much large than other octoroks, and they can be defeated by dashing into them with the loftwing.

Remlit

Main article: Remlit

During the day, Remlits are normal cat-like creatures, but at night they turn into aggressive monsters that will attack Link. Link can't actually kill a Remlit, rather, hit it twice with his sword to stop it from attacking. If Link throws a Remlit after making it passive it will attack again, and the same will happen if they fall off the edge of Skyloft and fly back.

These harrowing foes are encountered in the dark and dirty underground catacombs of the normally pristine Ancient Cistern. They will rise out of the ground, usually in large groups. They can't be defeated with a regular sword, unless the fatal blow is used. Until Link receive a more powerful sword or use one of Koloktos' swords, it is better to simply avoid them.

Burr

Main article: Burr

Burr are spikey green balls that are found in the forest of Faron and in Skyview Temple. They will latch onto Link's leg when he steps on them, and will stay there until they are shaken off or they explode. This is the only way they attack, and will not harm Link if Link stay far enough away. From a distance, Link can use the Slingshot or the Bow to kill them. If this is not an option, Link can also slash at them with the sword from a distance to start the countdown until they explode.

Cranioc

Main article: Cranioc

This fishlike monster is said to settle disputes with another of its species purely by the magnificence of its bulbous crowns. When this creature chooses its prey, it will turn red with excitement and charge head-on. To defeat it, Link must spin attack into it, causing it to flip over, stunned. Link must then perform another spin at the "X" on its head, killing it.

Deku Hornet

These hornets are found around nests located in the Deep Woods. If Link venture close, or knock down their nest while close to it, they will chase after Link and attempt to sting Link. Link can defeat them with a sword slash if necessary.

Hornets will also chase after and bother other enemies if they are near Link. They don't actually do any damage, but do help to distract them.
