Daira

Main article: Daira

Daira are ferocious axe-wielding monsters with crocodile heads, mostly occupying the caves of Death Mountain. The Orange type charges Link and swings its axe at Link. This attack cannot be blocked by his shield, so Link must duck under and stab low. The Reflect spell will make Link's shield strong enough to stop the axe.
Experience Points: 70
