Heatoise

The Heatoise first appears as a mini-boss in the Fire Temple in Spirit Tracks. Usually accompanied by a Winder, when hit or provoked the Heatoise will put its limbs and head into its shell and spin towards Link. The object to defeating a Heatoise without the bow and arrows is to cause the Heatoise to spin into the Winder, which stuns the Heatoise during which time Link can kill it.

The Heatoise is similar in appearance to the Snapper from Majora's Mask. They also attack in a similar manner.
