Keaton are a recurring race of fox-like creatures in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Anatomy
Keatons are three-tailed, fox-like creatures whose characteristics are derived from the mythological Japanese fox creatures, kitsune, which are nine-tailed foxes. They have yellow fur and their three tails bear black fur on the tips. Keatons are said to recognize one another by the sheen of their tails,[2] indicating subtle differences between each member.

Majora's Mask
Main article: Keaton's Quiz
A single Keaton appears in several locations in Majora's Mask, hiding within Rustling Grass and playing tricks on people.[4] In order to draw out the Keaton, Link must cut at least one clump of Rustling Grass wear the Keaton Mask a before all of the clumps have been destroyed. Additionally, at least one clump of Rustling Grass must be left remaining in order for the Keaton to show itself. The Keaton will then appear and offer the Keaton's Quiz minigame, asking the young hero five questions about people and locations in Majora's Mask.[5] The Keaton appears in all locations in Termina that contain Rustling Grass, such as North Clock Town, Mountain Village or along Milk Road, excluding those in the Lost Woods.
