Skytails fly in winding, twirling motions, usually in small groups. When they see their prey, such as [[Link]] riding his [[Loftwing]], they will congregate on his location and charge at him and his bird, aiming to bite him with their huge pincers. They appear to be flying relatives of [[Moldorm]], and much like their land-based cousins, they are meandering and unpredictable, making them hard to avoid and difficult to damage. Also like their land brethren, their weak point is the tip of their tails, which must be hit with a Charge or [[Spiral Charge]] from Link's Loftwing to destroy them.


Skytails are common throughout the [[Thunderhead]], and are one of the primary dangers during the battle with [[Levias]].
==Nomenclature==
