KOT:Rupee Like Like

Locations

Goron Mountain, Valley of Death, Gerudo Desert, River Valley and Lake Hylia.

Description

Appearance

They are cylindrical in shape and yellowish in color. They are actually a sturdy pile of goop. The difference with the Like Like is that on top they have an antenna with a rupee (green, blue and red) attached to it.

Behavior

A Rupee Like Like hides underground with only the rupee surrounding it. Sometime actual rupees are nearby. They quickly pop up out of the ground when Link picks up the rupee antenna. Although it pops up really fast, it moves very slow above ground. It will try to wrap Link to steal his rupees. Button mashing shortens the time that Link is held by the Rupee Like Like, but it will not speed up or slow down the rate with which the rupees get stolen. Link is released after a while and when it happens there is a large chance he will lose a more crucial item. Link can retrieve this item from the Rupee Like Like, when he defeats the Rupee Like Like before it wraps Link again or before Link leaves the area. When the item is permanently lost Link will have to buy a new one at a shop.

All weapons have a normal effect on these enemies although it takes a lot of damage to defeat one. When a Rupee Like Like is hit it freeze for a little while, but also becomes invincible for the same amount of time.

Attacks

Wrap

Rupees: The rate with which rupees are stolen is dependent on the color of the antenna.
