“	“A ghost with big ears and a weak point—he hates loud noise.”
	— Manual, The Legend of Zelda

A pols roar bears an uncanny resemblance to the more common pols voice. Rather than a cute little bunny monster, however, its body is almost entirely a gigantic mouth used to pounce and devour even a full-sized horse.
     Dwelling in Silence. A pols roar is oddly drawn to quiet locations, particularly in abandoned ruins or abandoned temples. Their sensitive hearing seems to work best in such environments. Infamously, they detest loud noises, and tend to fight or flee from the sources of such cacophony.
