ReDeads (リーデッド Rīdeddo?) are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. They are highly emaciated, undead humanoid creatures, closely resembling zombies with light brown wooden heads. They are found in dark and distant locations such as Hidden Holes and dungeons. ReDeads are capable of completely halting the movement of their prey with their gaze when they come close; concurrently, they emit blood-curdling screams to terrify their unfortunate victim. They will then close in on their stunned victim, and in most games will attach to them to drain their life energy. ReDeads are considered to be among the most frightening enemies of the Legend of Zelda series.
