Hiploop

The Hiploop (ヒップループ, Hipuruupu) is a large, aggressive insect-like enemy encountered in Majora's Mask. Once they spot Link they will charge at him, and must be blocked using the shield. Following this, by continually blocking with the shield the Hiploop can be pushed off the edge of the platform. Alternatively, Link can simply seize the advantage and attack with his sword before being noticed by them.

Some of the Hiploops encountered wear an iron mask on their head (similar to the Helmasaur, Iron Mask, or Stag Beetle), as pictured below. To defeat these Hiploops, Link must first remove the mask using the hookshot before being able to attack it in the usual manner.
