“	“The legendary Golden Tektite. Its basic attack is the same, but it has much more power.”
	— Figurine description, The Minish Cap

An extremely rare variant of tektite that hunts in solitude, the golden tektite derives its name from its gold-colored body. It wields uncanny speed, and is both more durable and much stronger than ordinary tektites. According to rumor, this creature is the result of magical enhancement—said to be empowered by a mighty sage, a great fairy, or some other source of potent magic. Indeed, it is one of the legendary creatures collectively called Golden Monsters.
