Staldras appear as common enemies in Skyward Sword. They can be found in Skyview Temple and Lanayru Mining Facility.
Characteristics and Weaknesses
Staldra are three-headed serpents similar to Gleeoks. Both Gleeoks and Staldras seem to be based on Hydras. True to their origin, Staldras reserve the ability to regenerate their heads, though they do not grow additional ones.
Upon encountering an enemy, Staldras will confront them, moving their heads in various patterns before lunging at their foes. Their heads will align themselves in a horizontal, diagonal or an uneven position. Link can only defeat them by slicing his Sword in a congruent line to the position of the heads. They cannot be defeated when their heads do not follow a line and will instead simply regenerate whichever heads that have been destroyed.
An easy way to defeat Staldras is to Shield Bash it when they lunge, then attack while they are stunned. It is possible to kill Staldras with Bombs if all the heads are looking in the direction of the Bomb. Upon defeat, Staldras will drop a single Red Rupee.
Name Etymology
Staldra is a portmanteau of "Stal" and "Hydra," a serpent-like beast from Greek myth. Stal is a prefix used to denote skeletal creatures, such as the Stalfos.
