Prankster Poe

Prankster Poes are enemies that appear in. They are Poes that bear a strong resemblance to the Links.

Characteristics
Prankster Poes appear in Levels of The Ruins in the Drablands. They closely resemble the Links, and even wear similar hats. They first appear in Illusory Mansion, as a group of enemies that ambush the Links in the Level's final Stage. The Poes attack by sneaking up to the Links and grabbing them to throw off the platform. The Poes move quickly, requiring the Links to strike back before they can sneak up to them. When one Poe is hit, it will disappear and then reappear behind the Link who attacked it, hoping to sneak in before Link can react.

Key Bandit Poe
A variation of the Prankster Poe is the Key Bandit Poe, which only appears in the third Stage of Palace Noir. These Poes look identically the same, but instead fly around the maze-like room while carrying three Keys. These Keys are required to open the large door to the Triforce Gateway. A Key Bandit Poe will drop its Key after being attacked, however once its Key is picked up, more will spawn and actively chase after the Link to steal back the Key. Once all the Keys are used to unlock the door, the Poes will cease their pursuit and float around defeated.
