Walltula: Difference between revisions

'''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.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', Walltulas can be seen climbing on the vines of a wall, although they appear to be moving faster than their ''Twilight Princess'' counterparts. Link can easily take them out using the Slingshot.
