Ghoul Rat

Ghoul Rats are found in spooky environments such as the Arbiter's Grounds and Hyrule Castle in Twilight Princess. They are normally invisible and they use that advantage to cling on to you and slow you down, but to the sharply "sensed" animal, these rats are easy pickings. When the rats are on you, turning into your wolf form, activating your senses, then doing a spin attack will wipe them out. They always attack in packs, so you can be certain that they will spot you. In human form, Link will start walking as if he had the Iron Boots on. When in wolf form, you'll know their clinging to you by seeing Midna panicking-and you start walking slowly. They don't inflict damage while attached, but the decreased speed can hinder progress greatly, leaving other enemies to attack Link. Walking through quicksand with these rats on you will cause you to sink alot faster, they can be quite dangerous if you are not prepared. Just check every now and then to see if any have clinged on to you.
