Morth

Morths are immature Mothula found in, often in swarms.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
If several Morths latch on to Link, they will hamper his movements. Morths are otherwise passive. Link can easily free himself by using the Spin Attack or just by rolling. They are easily dispatched of with the Boomerang if they aren't latched on to Link.

Although usually seen as a hindrance, there is one area in the game in which Morths can actually be somewhat helpful; a certain room within the Forbidden Woods houses many thorned Vines that erupt from the ground in certain places, effectively forming a maze where Link can be damaged if he moves too hastily. If enough Morths are attached to him, however, they will force him to move slowly through the room and thus lessen his chances of accidentally making contact with the vines. Large numbers of Morths are first encountered in the chamber preceding this one, possibly indicating that this was their intended purpose.

Morths are similar in behavior to the Poison Mites and Ghoul Rats of.
