Anti-Fairy

A skull surrounded by fire. If sprinkled with Magic Powder, will turn into a fairy.

Appearance: A Link to the Past (SNES & GBA) Quick Facts: Anti-Fairies appear in several dungeons in ALttP, when you touch them you'll loose some MP. If you sprinkle it with Magic Powder it will turn into a Fairy (That's why it is probably called an Anti-Fairy in the first place).

Appearance: Link's Awakening (DX) Quick Facts: In this game Anti-Fairy seems to be the invincible enemy, because Magic Powder won't work on these.

Appearance: Oracle of Ages / Seasons Quick Facts: These enemies are exactly the same as in LA.

Description

Overall

Anti-Fairies look like floating skulls with four little balls surrounding them, the creatures are not very common in the Legend of Zelda.

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, they just move 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). They appear in some of the later dungeons, but since you don’t have magic in the Oracle Series you can’t take them out in these games. In LA you can sprinkle them with Magic Powder (just like ALttP) in order to turn these into a little Fairy.

Miscellaneous Notes

The name Anti-Fairy is quite a good name, since this enemy will turn into a friendly Fairy when you hit them with Magic Powder. Anti-Fairies in ALttP have red bells, the other games all feature a Yellow/Black Version.

These guys also look and behave somewhat similar to the Bubble and the Whisp.
