Daira

Dairas are disgusting hybrids of Hylians and alligators. They are expert axe-throwers, and their axes are so sharp that they are able to slice through most Hyrulean shields.

In A Link to the Past, Dairas are found in the Dark World. They are pretty smart and will often charge at Link and try to attack him. A few sword swipes will finish them, yet the red ones may require more time.
