Biography
Kilton is a monster fanatic who owns the Fang and Bone traveling shop. He only appears at night near settlements, selling unique objects such as masks that act as camouflage against specific monsters. Kilton is first heard of through rumors told by travelers about a strange shop specializing in monsters set on the left eye of Skull Lake, in Deep Akkala. Hoz, the guard of East Akkala Stable, will also be searching for him and fears that he is up to no good. Speaking to Hoz will begin the Side Quest, "A Shady Customer", which tasks Link with finding Kilton and reporting back to Hoz.

When Link investigates said place, he finds Kilton lamenting about the lack of business in such a remote place. He then decides to become a traveling merchant and immediately sets off. From then on, Kilton will be found every night from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM near villages. Kilton is never seen moving his shop. If Link is still around after 5:00 AM, he will stay until spoken to, at which time he will bid his farewell and suddenly disappear to the bewilderment of Link. During the day, the spots where Kilton appears are marked by a signpost.

When first spoken to on any given night, Kilton is seen searching for something in the back of his shop. He then notices Link's scent, suspecting it is a monster and turns around to be startled before recognizing Link. He will then offer to exchange monster parts for Mon, a currency that Kilton uses. The amount of Mon received varies between what monster part was given, ranging from 1 Mon for an Octo Balloon to 150 Mon for a shard of a Dragon's horn. Mon can be used to purchase various masks or items from Kilton.

The gear sold by Kilton depends on the number of Divine Beasts Link has freed. At first, Kilton will only propose the cooking material Monster Extract for 9 Mon, the Wooden Mop weapon for 19 Mon and the Bokoblin Mask for 99 Mon. After one Divine Beast, he will add the Spring-Loaded Hammer for 199 Mon and the Moblin Mask for 199 Mon. After two Divine Beasts, he will add the Lizalfos Mask for 299 Mon, the Monster Bridle for 399 Mon and the Monster Saddle for 299 Mon. After the third Divine Beast, he will add the Lynel Mask for 999 Mon. After freeing all four Divine Beasts, Kilton will add the three pieces of the Dark Link Set, comprised of the Dark Hood for 1999 Mon and the Dark Tunic and Dark Trousers for 999 Mon each. Each of these wares can be purchased multiple times, with the exception of the Monster Saddle and Monster Bridle. Kilton will only have one of each item in stock every night, except for the Monster Extract, which has a stock of 20 every night.

Apart from his merchant activity, Kilton is particularly interested in the scent of rare monsters. After Link has defeated every Overworld Boss of a single type in Hyrule at least once, Kilton will notice the scent and award Link with a Medal of Honor associated with the monster. This includes defeating all 40 Stone Talus Bosses to receive the Talus Medal, all 40 Hinoxes to receive the Hinox Medal and all four Moldugas to receive the Molduga Medal.

Appearance
Kilton is smaller than Link, with an elongated head and dark grey skin and eyes. His lower lip bears two marks imitating fangs, a yellow one on the left and a white one on the right. He is mostly bald, with a single, curled tuft of white hair on his forehead, curled mustaches and a beard shaped like five forward-facing horns. He wears striped shorts, no shoes and a weary shirt ornamented with a skull pin and a big cowl with a big hole to fit the top of his head with two brightly colored buttons sew to imitate monster eyes. He also wears gauntlets imitating scaly, clawed monster arms and a ring on each ear.

Kilton's shop is a trolley with a big hot air balloon-shaped ragtag patchwork of brightly colored cloths, crates and buttons held together by strings and chains. Skulls are displayed on the front of the shop, as well as on the back, with colored bags. Inside the booth behind Kilton are some pots, books, a bokoblin mask and a moblin mask. On the center of the trolley is a big glowing purple ball, in addition to lanterns which also give off light and make the shop particularly noticeable at night. Additionally, there is a horn on the right side of the trolley playing a distinctive and ominous song.
