Peahat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Peahat is an enemy in The Legend of Zelda series of video games. They are plant-like in appearance and always have their signature propeller fashioned leaves or petals, allowing them to fly or attack from great heights.

[edit] Peahat
The Peahat are a race of helicopter/plant-like enemies. They are pineapple-like in appearance and the "helicopter blades" are probably some sort of hardened leaves which the Peahat developed as a protection to deflect weapons as well as a mechanism for flight. They are only active in the daytime, but can produce larvae at night if struck. They can be killed in some games when they are resting on the ground, and in other games, the roots must be struck underneath the blades.
A Seahat is a Peahat's cousin. They have only been found in the The Wind Waker so far, where they only live in the Great Sea.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda
The Peahats in this game appear to look similar to small, orange flower-like enemies with white helicopter leaves, found mostly in the northern half of the overworld. They are invincible while they are moving (as it is assumed that they are flying too high for Link to hit), and can only be attacked when they stop.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
They are nearly identical in appearance and behavior to their LoZ counterparts.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Peahats in this game are much larger than their counterparts from earlier games. As a child, they litter Hyrule Field, and attack whenever a traveler comes near. When Link become an adult, they no longer exist. Their appearance has also changed from earlier games, having large blade-like propellers as opposed to the flower propellers they had. There are two varieties, one that flies low and chases Link, attempting to cut him up with its spinning blades, and one that flies very high and doesn't move, attacking by sending out Peahat Larvae that Link must either flee from or deflect with his shield. The former could be defeated by getting underneath it and cutting at its vulnerable roots, while the latter must be shot down with the slingshot or else avoided (it shoot Peahat Larva, which will slowly descend until it hits the ground; they will die once it reaches the ground). The larvae of the second variety are endless, and the Peahat will continue producing them until night when it sleeps. A Peahat attacked while sleeping will spew Peahat larvae.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
There is only one Peahat to be found in the entire game, guarding a Piece of Heart in a small, underground cave hidden in Termina Field. This Peahat is identical to the low-flying variety of Peahat in Ocarina of Time.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Peahats are small and fly into Link to attack him with their blades. These can only be killed with projectiles, since the spinning blades act as a shield against a sword. Another way for the player to temporarily disable their shield is to knock them to the ground with the Deku Leaf or Boomerang and then destroy them with the sword.
[edit] Seahat
The game also features a variation of Peahats called Seahats, a relatively large flying sharkish fish creature who rushes at passers-by and shrinks when killed.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
In this game, Peahats appear more like Octoroks with flowers on their head. They are invincible while flying, and never come to rest. Link can defeat them with the Gust Jar, either by stunning them with a puff of wind, or by sucking them into the jar and then launching them out.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Peahats appear in the Gerudo Desert and City in the Sky dungeon, serving as Clawshot targets. Their appearance has once again changed: Only the rotating "leaves" appear plant-like, the bulk of the Peahat's body is the large root that Link can hang from. Unlike previous installments, they do not attack, and are actually helpful in several areas.
Also, there are two trees that appear to have Peahats growing off of them in the desert.
