ReDead

ReDeads are a type of zombie-like creature living in crypts or dark and haunted places.

The ReDeads feed by sucking life energy from their poor victims. To do that, they freeze their targets with horror by a direct look in the eyes. Then they approach slowly, and if the ReDead comes close enough it jumps on the back of its prey and bites the victim, draining their energy. You can throw off the ReDead if you struggle enough.

The ReDeads are created by evil magic, so, Light arrows or other weapons similar are effective against the ghoul. Summoning light in the area (like the reflect of a Mirror Shield or playing the Sun's Song) can freeze them temporily.

In Majora's Mask, wearing a certain type of mask makes ReDeads dance and makes them completely unable to attack.
