Hoarder

The Hoarder is a small beetle-like insect that covers up its weak flesh with un-natural materials such as grass,stones, or even skulls. This gives the Hoarder protection over predators or enemies and camoflage for unsuspecting prey. Link encountered these creatures in Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, and Oracle of Ages and Minish Cap. He used his sword to kill hoarders lying under grass protection, and had to use the Power Bracelet to remove stones and skulls on top of some Hoarders before he could kill them.
