Snap Dragons hop around at great speeds to attack Link with their snapping jaws. They appear in various locations in the Overworld of the Dark World and Lorule. Snap Dragons are vulnerable to most weapons. They move in a diagonal matter and often appear in pairs or groups of three. They can also cause up to three hearts of damage with a single attack.

Trivia

• According to the English A Link to the Past manual, Snap Dragons were created by a mad alchemist's plant experiments. In the Japanese manual, it is stated that they simply evolved from plants.
• Due to their hopping motion, they can sometimes be unaffected by the Quake Medallion.^{[verification needed]}
• Their official artwork from A Link to the Past depicts them with green leaves, while in-game they have blue leaves.

Etymology

Their English name may be a reference to the Antirrhinum flower, which is also known as the "snapdragon." Their Japanese name is possibly a play on "gapu," the onomatopoeia for a big bite or chomping sound, and "bura," meaning strolling aimlessly.
