Stalchild

Stalchild's are not frightening at all, in fact, the most scary part about them is their appearance.

Description

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.

Ruled or Unruled

Within Ocarina of Time, the Stalchild simply attack everyone out on Hyrule Field. The only way to stop these creatures from attacking you is to use the Bunny Hood, as you are too cute to attack.

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.

Tactics

The Stalchild is an incredibly easy boos to defeat. All you simply need to do is attack them. 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 Nuts will also stun them, and then you can kill them whilst they are immobile.
