Strich, along with Cawlin, is a student at the Knight Academy and a friend and henchman to Link's personal rival, Groose. He, Groose and Cawlin have a reputation for being bullies. During the Wing Ceremony race, he will throw eggs at Link to help Groose win.

Strich can be found in the Lumpy Pumpkin during the day, and in his and Cawlin's room at the Knight Academy at night. He has an affinity for bugs and is willing to buy them from Link.^[1]^[2] However, he will only buy three varieties of bugs on any given night, according to his mood.^[3] Near the end of the game, once Levias has been released from the control of Bilocyte, Stritch can be found on Bug Rock in the thunderhead, where he runs a bug-catching minigame known as Bug Heaven.

The prices he gives for certain bugs are as follows:

Trivia

Strich and Agitha share the same passion for bugs.
Strich's name in English is probably an oblique reference to his Japanese name, Osuto. A possible English adaptation of Osuto is Ost, making him Ost/Strich. Strich's build resembles that of an ostrich.
