Description
Underworld Enemy #16: Patra

"The Patra attack in groups, in two types of formations. Both formation groups are strong. So be on your toes!"

-The Legend of Zelda Manual

Though Ganon's powers grant him the ability to conjure spells, mutate beasts and possess others, he cannot see everything that happens in the Underworld, at least with his own vision. As Ganon is known to collect strange and archaic items such as rare plants, ancient texts and dead animals, his two most prized possessions are the eyes of an extinct and unnamed beast that used to dwell in Lake Hylia. Possessing the creature's plucked eyes and giving them the ability of flight, Ganon created the Patra. Telepathically linked to Ganon, the Patra have become another set of eyes for their master, patrolling his underworld fortress with a keen sense of sight like no other. Eerily, the Patra can reproduce, spawning hordes of smaller eyes, all of which link back to Ganon's mind, giving him a vast visual map of his entire fortress. When a master Patra is attacked, its offspring will return, forming a very tight ring of defense around the central eye.
