Staltroop

Staltroops appear only in Twilight Princess, during Link's battle with Stallord.

They are similar in appearance to the ReDead Knights, however they are completely non-aggressive. They serve only to deflect Link's Spinner as he attempts to reach Stallord's vulnerable spine, thereby causing him rebound away or fall into the sand. After each spine Link breaks, the more Staltroops will appear to defend the remaining segments, making it even harder to reach the spine. They can be killed by using the Spinner's attack but its completely pointless, because more will appear.
