Snap Dragon

The Snapdragon is a small yet fearsome plant that hops at great speeds to attack Link. These plants roam the Dark World and can be defeated rather simply by any means necessary.

Very little strategy is needed to kill a Snapdragon, but they do move in a diagonal matter which makes them unusual among the enemies Link faces, and they can cause a large amount of damage with their bite (up to three hearts).

Trivia

 * A Link to the Past's manual states that these creatures are the result of a mad alchemist's plant experiments.
 * Their name likely comes form the flower of the same name, as it is a plant based enemy.
