Lowders are beetles with a hard carapace. They are found in deserts and caves. They generally moves slowly, but when [[Link]] is in direct sight, they will streak straight at him. Link can easily defeat them with one strike from his [[Sword]], with the [[Downward Thrust]] being one of the most effective ways. |
