The Kikwis are a race in SS undefined. They are small creatures that live in the Faron Woods of the Faron Province. They have plantlike material on their bodies, with which they use to camouflage themselves in their woodland habitat.

Characteristics
The Kikwis are small, furry creatures that are a mix between animal and plant. Their bodies are a rotund, bottom-heavy pear shape, with their fur being a contrasting dark and light brown. They have short, white arms and stubby, black feet. Their faces consist of variously shaped black eyes and a short beak. On their posteriors is what looks like a bushy tail, but is actually a bud that blooms into a leafy bush under which a Kikwi can attempt to hide themselves. In addition, Kikwis also have a leafy plumage on the top of their heads resembling hair. Likewise, Kikwis can also grow facial hair, as is the case with the elders Bucha and Yerbal. The average size of a Kikwi is usually no more than half of Link's height. A notable exception to this is Bucha, who is much larger and towers over Link.

The Kikwis are a peaceful race who do not resort to violence, and instead do the opposite by hiding themselves at any sign of danger. Many of them are in fact quite cowardly, even believing Link is a monster when they first meet.

Trivia

 * The Kikwis are named after several varieties of tea.
 * Erla and Yerbal both reference "It's a secret to everybody." Erla says it when Link discovers his hiding place after the flooding of Faron Woods, while Yerbal says it after he tells Link about Farore's Flame.
 * Upon completing the Gratitude Crystal quest that requires Link to deliver Oolo the Kikwi to Owlan in Skyloft, Owlan does not know whether to classify the creatures as flora or fauna. Fascinated, he observes that the Kikwi may very well be a new species altogether.
