Keese often exist in clusters in places where they are found. These creatures fly around the screen erratically, not heading towards anything in particular, and stop to rest for a short amount of time on a neighboring wall or rock face. In some games such as {{ALttP}} and {{LA}}, Keese are easy to startle, and move about the screen only when [[Link]] is within close proximity, otherwise they remain still. Later games, such as {{TWW}} and {{TP}}, introduce Keese with a slightly more active attack strategy; these bats target Link, but will hover and pause above him before striking him, giving Link a chance to notice and defeat them before they seize the opportunity to cause injury.
