{{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> | |||
==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. 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> indicating subtle differences between each member. | |||

{{Main|Keaton Mask}} | |||
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...

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. | |||
