Spinut

are enemies in.

Characteristics
When Spinuts encounter Link, they will rush toward him, attempting to slam themselves into him. Two variants of Spinut appear: a weaker type that is brown and yellow; and a rarer, stronger version which is green and yellow. One or two strikes from Link's Sword are usually enough to defeat them.

Nomenclature
Spinuts derive their name from a portmanteau of "spine", referring to their points atop their heads, and "nut", indicative of their body shape.
