Lowders are beetles with a hard carapace. They are found in deserts and caves. They generally moves slowly, but when [[Link]] is in direct sight, they will streak straight at him. Link can easily defeat them with one strike from his [[Sword]], with the [[Downward Thrust]] being one of the most effective ways. | Lowders are beetles with a hard carapace.

A Lowder appears in {{TLoZ|TV Series}}; however, unlike its game counterpart, the Lowder is never seen attacking. Instead, it serves as [[Ganon]]'s main transportation when traveling in the overworld since his teleportation powers are limited when not in the [[Underworld]]. Since the Lowder can climb walls, this allows Ganon to reach the tower where the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] is located, as seen in the "[[Cold Spells]]" episode of the series, where he obtains the Triforce thanks to the Lowder's abilities. | A Lowder appears in {{TLoZ|TV Series}}; however, unlike its game counterpart, the Lowder is never seen attacking.
