Underworld Enemy #12: Pols Voice

"A ghost with big ears and a weak point -- he hates loud noise."

-The Legend of Zelda Manual

Due to Ganon's meddling in the realm, the underworld is now home to a multitude of undead creatures, some even made animated indirectly by the corrupt sorcerer's range of power. Despite this, there are even ancient ghosts that have been dwelling in the labyrinths ages before Ganon's arrival in Hyrule. One such living corpse of a creature has been called the 'Pol's Voice'. The creature's name is translated from an antiquated form of Hylian, literally meaning "Voice of the Pol" with the word 'Voice' referring to the inner voice, essence or spirit of a living thing; a ghost. The word 'Pol' however has gotten mistranslated and reinterpreted over time, and is believed to be a shortened variation of some unknown base word, referring to the creature's bizarre, cat-like species; A species long extinct, only visually depicted in a handful of rare Hylian hieroglyphs. The Pols Voice tend to congregate only in the deepest sections of the underworld, due to their sensitivity to light and sound, floating through passageways with a certain sense of fluidity and buoyancy, as if swimming through the air. Though they only seem to attack if provoked, these strange spirits will latch onto the heads of their prey, or will choke them with their long ghostly tendrils. The Pols Voice usually proceed by draining their victim's life-force with a set of sucker-like teeth that reside under their hood-like faces. They are quite adept at moving through the claustrophobia-inducing dungeons, but aren't without their own weaknesses. Due to the creature's extremely thin skin, arrows are particularly effective weapons in combat, and a well placed shot may very well rip through several of them at once.
