Vacuum Mouth

Vacuum Mouths are Enemies in Link's Awakening.[1][2][name references needed]

Characteristics

Vacuum Mouths are immobile and essentially non-aggressive; their ability is to attract all creatures (both Link and Enemies alike) inexorably towards it. It does so in short five-second bursts accompanied by a whooshing noise. A Vacuum Mouth first appears in the Bottle Grotto, in a room along with three Keese. The Keese are sucked into the Vacuum Mouth, and Link must cross the room while avoiding the same fate.

Should Link fall into a Vacuum Mouth, he will be taken to the beginning of the Dungeon, as with Floormasters.

Another version of Vacuum Mouth exists which has the exact opposite ability; they expel air, preventing Link from being able to approach. One of these reverse Vacuum Mouths, found in Key Cavern in the room immediately to the right of the entrance, can be defeated by charging it using the Pegasus Boots.
