Water Tektite

The Water Tektite is, as its name suggests, a water-skimming Tektite that appears in the Swamp Palace of. Their body has two segments, and it uses its four thin legs to balance on the water using surface tension. It appears in groups on shallow and deep water and moves in diagonal motions towards Link as he attempts to get past. It usually appears in groups of three, and if they congregate around an entrance into to the water they can be hard to get past. While not that dangerous on their own, not being overly strong, they often appear alongside the more dangerous Pirogusu and Kyameron and other traps, so should still be treated with caution. If they appear on deep water they cannot usually be harmed from the land by normal means.

Trivia

 * Water Tektites also appeared in Level 2 of BS Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets, but they were slightly weaker than in A Link to the Past.
