Kikwi

The Kikwi are strange creatures that debuted in Skyward Sword. They are native to Faron Woods and their elder is Bucha.

Characteristics
Kikwis' faces look like a black sideways eight with a short beak on it. At the top of their heads is what appears to be a short, green stem. They have short, white arms and stubby, black feet. Their bodies seem to have a rotund pear shape, with their fur being very contrasted dark and light brown. The overall size of a Kikwi seems to vary from half Link's height to much larger than him. On their posteriors is what looks like a bushy tail, but it is actually a bud that blooms into a green bush under which a Kikwi can attempt to hide itself, like the Octoroks living in the area.

History
Link first encounters these creatures in the Faron Woods. While here, Link has to search for three missing Kikwis using Fi's dowsing ability, and in return, the elder Bucha rewards the young hero with the Slingshot.
