Fire Keese made their first appearance in {{OoT}} and {{MM}}. They are most commonly found within dungeons, and often near Torches. Fire Keese fly around the area in small colonies, and attack by swooping down at Link when they spot him. However, Fire Keese are dangerous as they can set Link on fire for a short period of time upon contact, and can destroy wooden items such as [[Deku Shield]]s and [[Deku Stick]]s if they are equipped. Inadvertently, this will also turn the Fire Keese back into a normal Keese, prompting it to seek out a Torch and set itself on fire as it flies through. Like normal Keese, they can be defeated with any conventional weapon.

In {{OoA}} and {{OoS}}, Fire Keese possess a much different strategy of attack than normal Keese, being much more aggressive.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= Fire Keese attack similarly to normal Keese, but their flame-covered wings make them a more threatening foe.

While in flight, they cannot be attacked, and become vulnerable only when they dive. Like the Fire Keese of {{OoT|-}} and {{MM|-}}, they will burn Link as their bodies' flames pass to him, reverting them into a fireless Keese in the process. They will then seek out the nearest Torch to set themselves aflame. Even without their flames, the Keese will still fly at a high altitude to avoid Link's attacks. They inhabit the [[Skull Dungeon]] in {{OoA|-}}, the [[Sword & Shield Maze]] in {{OoS|-}}, and the [[Hero's Cave]] in both games.

{{Fi|Fire Keese|Found near volcanoes, these monsters are attracted to dark places, such as caves. Constantly under combustion, they will burn anything on contact.  

They often gather in colonies, are active at night, and sleep in the day. Those who come too close and awaken them often fall victim to attack.}}

Fire Keese in {{SS}} resemble bats fully engulfed in flames. They appear in [[Eldin Volcano]] and inside the [[Earth Temple (Skyward Sword)|Earth Temple]]. Fire Keese will set Link on fire upon contact, resulting in any Wooden Shields being destroyed and continuously burning Link until he puts out the fire either by rolling or jumping into water. In {{SS|-}}, it is impossible for Fire Keese to have their flames extinguished.

Fire Keese appear in {{BotW}}. Like other Keese in the game, they only emerge at night. They are typically found in hot areas, such as [[Death Mountain]], but can also be encountered in [[Akkala]]. If it starts to rain, their flame will go out and they will die after a few seconds. They typically circle at height until they spot Link, at which point they fly down to attack him. When flying closer to the ground, their flames can set flammable materials such as [[Grass]] alight.
