Beetle (Enemy)

In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening beetles are an inexplicably uncommon enemy, only appearing on one screen, south of Kanalet Castle. They appear from a hole in the ground when you get close. They can be killed easily with a single sword slash, but endlessly continue appearing from the hole.

Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Beetle figurine: "Appear in various areas. They appear under rocks and grass. If they grab you, you won't be able to move. Swing your sword to get away."
