Characteristics

Though it continually warns Link to take his time, he must strike it successively for it to change colors from blue to red, indicating loss of health.

Defeating it will give Link access to a Great Fairy that will offer him the Blue or Red Clothes.

In Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch, cracks are shown to form on its shell in addition to changing colors when taking damage.
