order= Undead / Skeleton |
habitat=Overworld / Graveyard |
quickfacts= Stalchild's are not frightening at all, in fact, the most scary part about them is their appearance. They are the infant and weaker versions of the [[Stalfos]] that appears in many games. In some Zelda games there is also a lone creature in the shape of a skull called [[Stal]]. |
attackpattern= In OoT Stalchild appear in various sizes. They surface from the ground only in Hyrule Field at night, and try to hit [[Link]] by swinging their little arms around. Sometimes a decaptated Stallchild will still continue to attack. |

== Description ==

===Overall===
The Stalchild is the remains of someone, they have a disproportionate head for their bodies, and they wear a small amount of brown clothing around their waist. The Stalchild's also look like they've suffered great pain, as their teeth still show where their gums used to be, and the colour of the red is that of the colour of blood.

===Ocarina of Time===
In [[Ocarina of Time]] the Stalchild simply attack everyone out on [[Hyrule Field]], but only at night in Young Link's time period. The only way to stop these creatures from attacking you is to use the [[Bunny Hood]], as you are too cute to attack. Or you can just run away from these creatures for they are very slow and can never hope to keep up with you.

===Majora's Mask===
However, within [[Majora's Mask]], all of the Stalchild's can be seen to have a hierarchy in which they must conform to. They are known to haunt the Graveyard in [[Ikana]] and scare [[Dampé]]. Owing to the fact that they are the cursed soldiers of [[Ikana]] it can be accepted that they were once alive and are now haunting the world in the search of their own peace. If Link wears the [[Captain's Hat]] they think he is [[Skull Keeta]] the commander. Thus the stalchildren will provide him with useful information and will in some cases also open up a grave for him, and they will even call Link their Captain or Sir.

In the [[Ocean Spider House]] there are 6 Stallchildren that will tell you the correct color combination so you can get to all the [[Gold Skulltula|Spiders of the curse]].

=== Tactics ===
The Stalchild is an incredibly easy to defeat. All you simply need to do is attack them with any weapon. Two hits from the weakest sword, either the [[Kokiri Sword]] or the [[Hero's Sword]] will kill them. To add insult to injury, using the [[Deku Nut]]s will also stun them, and then you can kill them whilst they are immobile. However take note that decapitating a Stalchild will not stop it, for the headless body will still try to pursue you.

==Misscellaneous Notes==

===Selfdestructing Stalchildren===
If a Stalchild walks too deep into the water in Hyrule Field it will disintegrate right away, and usually leaving some rupees behind. from this we can assume that skeletons cannot swim.

You got the Captain's Hat!
Wear it with (C). 
The ghosts of a hundred soldiers
swear allegiance to this symbol of
authority.

A Stalchild in the [[Ocean Spider House]], while wearing the [[Captain's Hat]]:

Ah! Captain, sir! It's been a long
time since we've seen you! 
As you have ordered, sir, we are
investigating the secrets of this
place. 
According to the information I
have obtained, it seems ''color''

Have I fulfilled my duties, sir?
Yes
No 
(Answer Yes) 
Ahh! Thank you, sir!
I hope the information I have
provided will be of assistance to
you, sir.
Now, as you ordered, sir, I will
finish the last of my duties.

The leader Stalchild in [[Ikana Graveyard]] when wearing the [[Captain's Hat]]:
Aah! Captain, sir!!!
Excuse me, sir! 
Everyone, give the captain your
attention!
We haven't seen you in some time,
captain, sir! 
As per your orders, sir, we've
been guarding these graves
closely.

The Japanese version is read as "Stalbaby".

The German version rather calls this creature a "Boneling", where the 'gänger' suffix could mean 'ling' or something else.

==Image source==
I think the sprite image is ripped from [www.evilsponge.com/zelda/oot/z5enemies.html here]. I don't know whether this would give problems.--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 05:03, 1 March 2006 (EST)

Yes, it is ripped from there. However, it's still an official image of Nintendo, as they own all rights of it over the rest of us. I can't see why it would cause a problem, but I can always rip an image straight from the ROM if you'd prefer. -- [[User: Archaic Sage|Archaic Sage]]

2D sprites are one thing, but I think it's best to either get permission to use a ripped 3D image, or to provide one yourself it possible. The last thing you want is for the Zelda Legends wiki to get into trouble for stealing, right? --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 00:55, 3 March 2006 (EST)

It shouldn't get anyone into trouble, as no one is claiming it as their own. However, I've ripped a new image from the MM ROM, it's already uploaded :D. [[User:Archaic Sage|Archaic Sage]]
