“	“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. They usually hunt in groups of three to eight. Tektite packs 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.
     Versatile Habitation. Tektites travel far and wide to many different biomes, and their powerful legs can handle any terrain. Lakes, swamps, mountains, deserts, caverns, ruins, and more are home to these hunters.
     Environment: Arctic, Caves, Coastal, Desert, Forest, Grassland, Hills, Lake, Ruins, Sea, Volcanic
