Erratic Movement. While its movement isn't reduced, the tektite cannot be targeted with attacks made as reactions.

Standing Leap. The tektite can jump a length or height of up to 40 feet, with or without a running start.

Water Walker. The tektite can walk, jump, or slide over the surface of water as easily as it can move over land.


Actions

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

“These spidery things jump about all over the place. Red ones move about a lot and blue ones move only a little. Tektites have little fighting power.”
The Legend of Zelda manual

     These four-limbed, one-eyed carnivorous insects are aggressive hunters. Tektites usually hunt in groups of three to eight. Tektites have an odd tactic: they leap great distances, then body slam their hard underbellies and legs into the prey with the intention of breaking bones and preventing escape. Once a foe is sufficiently unable to resist, a tektite slowly devours the disabled prey in nibbling bites, often while the victim is still alive. Tektites hunt indiscriminately, slamming into everything from small birds to traveling merchants, but rarely approach foes several times their size. Like many monsters in Hyrule, a tektite's color hints to its power level.
     Red Tektites. The most common variety of tektites, these often inhabit rough terrain like volcanoes, mountains, and deserts where food is scarce. Because food is relatively slim in these locations, they often don't grow to the size and strength of otherwise comparable blue tektites.
