The Acheman (エークマン, ''Eikuman'') is a bat-demon that is part of the enemy force led by [[Ganon]] in [[Adventure of Link]]. Although they lack the Hylian shape-shifting abilities of their cousins (the [[Ache]]), they have a much more deadly transformation.

[[Image:Acheman.gif|left]]Hanging from the ceilings of their abode, they may resemble an [[Ache]], although the first difference that a traveler will know is that normal Ache are only blue and purple. The Acheman in bat form is a deep red. When it senses an intruder nearby it will swoop down like an Ache, but the similarity stops there. When the Acheman touches ground, it transforms into a demon that spits fire at intruders. After a few volleys of fire, the Acheman will have to recharge and retreat into bat form to regain energy in a safe place. The Acheman is significantly stronger than its Ache relatives, and can be killed with bladed weapons, like a [[sword]].

The Achemen are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][name references needed]

Characteristics

The Adventure of Link

Acheman are monstrous Bats cursed by Ganon.[1] They are companions to Aches, though they do not disguise themselves as Hylians like their counterparts. Instead, they hang from ceilings in deep red, Ache-like forms. When their prey draws close, they swoop to the ground and transform into Bat-like men that spit volleys of fire.[1] After they spit a few blasts of flam, they return to their Ache forms and return to the ceiling.

Achemen are stronger than their Ache counterparts, though they can still be defeated with Link's Sword.
