— Encyclopedia |
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.
Silver Tektites. Like all silver monsters, silver tektites—also known as white tektites—have been empowered with magic from a typically evil origin, perhaps even Ganon himself. This variety is exceedingly powerful for a mere tektite, and is even known to prey even on other tektites.
