'''Skullwalltulas''' haunt the vegetation of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. This arachnid creature clings on vines waiting for enemies to climb up. If the enemy is deemed hostile or a threat, the Skullwalltula will flash purple and scurry over to the target, knocking it off the vine. The Skullwalltula resembles a [[Gold Skulltula]] in appearance (other than the skull plating, which resemble normal [[Skulltula]]), and they also make the same sort of scratching sound. They can easily be dispatched with any ranged weapon including the [[Hookshot]], [[Boomerang]], and [[Bow]]. The shock waves produced by the [[Hammer#Megaton Hammer|Megaton Hammer]] when it strikes the ground at the foot of a wall covered with Skullwalltulas will also work surprisingly well. It is usually necessary to destroy these creatures before climbing up a vine, as their scurrying attack is extremely hard, if not impossible in some places to avoid.

Fi says:

Target lock: Walltula

Found mostly in ivy and on walls, you can expect this creature to approach when it senses your presence.

The beast lives on other creatures' bodily fluids. A fully grown Walltula is several orders of magnitude more dangerous than a young Walltula.

In Skyward Sword, Walltulas can be found climbing on the vines of walls in several places. Link can easily take them out using the Slingshot or the Beetle. He can also defeat Walltulas by making them follow him and then jumping at a wall without vines. They do not inflict damage, though getting bitten by one will make Link's Stamina drop faster.
