{{Plural|SSHD|Staldra}} are skeletal {{Wp|Lernean Hydra|hydras}} located in the {{Term|SSHD|Skyview Temple|link}} and {{Term|SSHD|Lanayru Mining Facility|link}}. They are able to regenerate their heads when one is cut off.
Upon encountering an {{Term|SSHD|Enemy}}, {{Plural|SSHD|Staldra}} will begin moving their heads in various patterns as they confront them, before lunging at their foes in attack. Their heads will align themselves in a horizontal, diagonal, or an uneven position. {{Term|SSHD|Link|link}} can only defeat them by destroying all three heads at once, otherwise the decapitated heads will quickly regenerate. Because of this, they can only be defeated when they align their heads in an even position where {{Term|SSHD|Link}} can slice through all three at once.
An easy way to defeat {{Plural|SSHD|Staldra}} is to {{Term|SSHD|Shield Bash|link}} them when they lunge, then attack while they are stunned. It is possible to kill {{Plural|SSHD|Staldra}} with {{Plural|SSHD|Bomb|link}} if all the heads are looking in the direction of the {{Term|SSHD|Bomb}}. Upon defeat, {{Plural|SSHD|Staldra}} will drop a single {{Term|SSHD|Red Rupee|link}}.
==Nomenclature==
{{Term|SSHD|Staldra}} is a portmanteau of "[[Zelda Definitions#Stal|Stal]]", a prefix used to denote skeletal creatures such as the {{Term|SSHD|Stalfos|link}}, and {{Wp|Hydra}}, a multi-headed serpent-like beast from Greek myth that could regrow its heads.


'''Staldra''' appear as a common enemy in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. They can be found in the [[Skyview Temple]] and the [[Lanayru Mining Facility]].
{{Nomenclature}}


==Strategy==
==See Also==
To defeat Staldra, Link must use his sword to cut off all the heads at once, as they will grow back if he doesn't. To do this, Link has to perfect slice all three heads in the way they are positioned. If a Staldra has all three heads lined up in a single row, he would have to perform a horizontal slice to bring down the beast.

==Trivia==
{{Ref}}
*Staldra is a portmanteau of "[[Zelda Definitions#Stal|Stal]]" and "[[Wikipedia:Lernean Hydra|Hydra]]". Stal is a prefix used to denote skeletal creatures, such as the [[Stalfos]].
*[[Gleeok]]s are similar, multi-headed creatures that also seem to be related to the Hydra.
*It is possible to kill the beast with a bomb if all the heads are looking in the direction of the bomb.
*All Staldras drop a single [[Red Rupee]] when defeated.
