Rupee Wraith
You don't want to run into one of these phantasmal thieves. If one of them catches you, it will slowly steal Rupees from you as long as it holds you in its grasp. You will also lose Rupees when it damages you. If a Rupee Wraith has taken hold of you, try pawning it off on one of your companions by touching him or her.

Rupee Wraiths can appear when opening Treasure Chests, pursuing the Link that opened it. If a Link comes in contact with it, he will start losing Rupees in quantities of one, then five, and finally 20. Touching one of the other Links will pass the Rupee Wraith to them. Eventually, the Rupee Wraith will vanish after a few seconds.

In Four Swords Anniversary Edition, a Rupee Wraith can be dispatched quickly by switching control to the other Link not being attacked.

Trivia

  • In The Minish Cap, the Ghost that haunts Gregal shares the same sprite as the Rupee Wraith.
  • The Big Octorok Boss from The Minish Cap also produces the same squealing sound as Rupee Wraiths.
