{{Term/Store|Keaton|Keatons|Series, MM, MM3D}} are a recurring race of fox-like creatures in {{TLoZ|Series}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 245 {{Exp Game|MM}}}}</ref>


Their characteristics are derived from the mythological Japanese fox creature, [[Wikipedia:Kitsune|kitsune]]. They have yellow fur and three tails with black fur on the tip of each tail; Keatons are said to recognize one another by the sheen of their tails.<ref>{{cite|Hee-hee-ho! Hello, child. If you are attempting to fool me, it is impossible. We Keatons can recognize our own by the sheen of our tails.|Keaton|MM}}</ref>
==Anatomy==
Keatons are three-tailed, fox-like creatures whose characteristics are derived from the mythological Japanese fox creatures, {{Wp|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,<ref>{{Cite|Hee-hee-ho! Hello, child.

No Keatons appear in {{OoT}}, though a [[Keaton Mask]] can be obtained as part of a trading quest. It is the first [[Mask]] obtained from the shop in [[Hyrule Castle Town]], and can be sold to the guard at the far end of [[Kakariko Village]] as a gift for his son. Keaton is said to be a popular character.<ref>{{Cite|Is that a "Kee...something..." character mask? I heard he's very popular recently? He's my boy's favorite. That "Kee...something..." mask...

===''Majora's Mask''===
==={{MM|-}}===
Keaton is a three-tailed, yellow fox that appears in {{MM}}. To get it to appear, Link needs to obtain and equip the [[Keaton Mask]] and cut some [[Moving Grass]] in [[North Clock Town]], [[Mountain Village]] or along [[Milk Road]].<ref>{{cite|It seems Keaton, the ghost fox, plays tricks in the grass...|Gossip Stone|MM}}</ref> Keaton will then appear and ask the young hero five questions about things in ''Majora's Mask''.<ref>{{cite|Answer me this... Pick one of the three choices...|Keaton|MM}}</ref> If he answers them all right, Link will obtain a [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Piece of Heart]]. There are a total of thirty questions that could possibly be asked. If Link does not answer the questions correctly, he can try again, but the Keaton can only be summoned once every three-day period. Choosing to summon the Keaton again and answering the five questions after receiving the Heart Piece will yield a Red [[Rupee]] as a reward.
{{Main|Keaton's Quiz}}
A single Keaton appears in several locations in {{MM}}, hiding within [[Rustling Grass]] and playing tricks on people.<ref>{{Cite|It seems Keaton, the ghost fox, plays tricks in the grass...|Gossip Stone|MM}}</ref> 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 {{Term|MM3D|Rustling Grass}} must be left remaining in order for the {{Term|MM3D|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 {{MM|-}}.<ref>{{Cite|Answer me this... Pick one of the three choices...|Keaton|MM}}</ref> 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 {{Term|MM3D|Lost Woods|link}}.
 
==Nomenclature==
Keaton seems to be based on the Japanese word, {{Romanize|狐|{{Wp|Kitsune}}}}. It is possible that the Japanese name, {{Romanize|キータン|Kītan}}, is a combination of the first letter in Kitsune, "Ki" (''き''), and "-tan" (''たん'') a childish suffix often used for mascot characters, as would fit with the Keaton Mask.
