Octoballoon

The Octoballoon is an enemy found in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It dwells in the southeaster corner of Hyrule near Lake Hylia. Its location is the eighth landing spot Link can travel to by summoning the bird with his Flute. Once Link has come within its range or struck it with his sword, the Octoballoon reacts by exploding into ten tiny Octoballoons that bounce momentarily before disappearing. These smaller Octoballoons quickly fade in less than five seconds, giving Link little time to attack them all, although each of them only require only a single swing of the blade.
