Hiploop

A Hiploop is a raging insect creature that appears similar to a man-sized beetle, it attempts to ram its prey if it is stared directly into the eyes. It appears in Majora's Mask. Two hits from any weapon will defeat it. Later in the Stone Tower Temple, the Hiploop will have a defensive mask on its face protecting itself. Link must use the hookshot or a bomb to pull it off of Hiploop's face. Hiploop has also appeared in Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons but has not been named in those games until Majora's Mask. They are similar to the Helmasaur race in A Link to the Past and The Minish Cap, in which the mask must be destroyed with a bomb in A Link to the Past and removed with the Gust Jar in The Minish Cap.
