Description
Overall
Anti-Fairies look like floating skulls with four little balls surrounding them. The creatures are not very common in most games but can be found in some dungeons.
A Link to the Past
Anti-Fairies are in located in a few dungeons like Eastern Palace and Palace of Darkness for example. Anti-Fairy will always move diagonally and when it bumps against a wall it simply bounces back in another direction, moving aiminglessly through the room. These guys are immume to all attacks except magic. Sprinkle some Magic Powder over them and they turn into a Fairy. This little trick can be quite useful if you are low on hearts.
Link's Awakening (DX) & Oracle of Ages / Seasons
In these games the Anti-Fairy is identical in every way (apart from the monochrome color in LA). In LA you can sprinkle them with Magic Powder (just like ALttP) in order to turn these into a little Fairy. Since you don't have magic powder in the Oracle Series you can't take them out this way. In both games you can use the Boomerang to turn the Anti-Fairy into a fairy.
Miscellaneous Notes
The name Anti-Fairy is fitting since this enemy will turn into a friendly Fairy when you hit them with Magic Powder or a Boomerang. Anti-Fairies in ALttP have red bells, the other games all feature a Yellow/Black Version.
When you are locked in rooms which can only be opened once all enemies are defeated, Anti-Fairies don't need to be killed. If an Anti-Fairy makes contact with you in ALttP you not only lose health, but also some Magic Points.
These guys also look and behave somewhat similar to the Bubble and the Whisp.
