Fire Keese

Fire Keese are the flame-ignited bat creatures of Hyrule. In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, their fiery blanket can be seen being acquired, either at Links will by shooting Fire Arrows or by their own descent into a torch. When attacking, the Keese pass on the flame to their victim and eventually lose their own, presumably from their constant, rapid movement. In Twilight Princess, Fire Keese cannot become flame-smothered at Link's will. Additionally, whereas average Keese will not harm Link if he merely touches them, contact with a Fire Keese will. Their flame can be put out with the Gale Boomerang.
