Goofy names for enemies

Which Zelda enemy names are the goofiest to you? Which ones make you giggle or sound like you just can't take that enemy seriously because the name just doesn't sound badass enough?

Here's some examples:

Peahat
Hiploop
Twinmold
Bongo Bongo
ChuChu

You named out the only ones I could think of already except for Like Likes, Rupee Likes and Tingle.

Re: Goofy names for enemies

Bubbles also come to mind. I never really understood why they were given a harmless name.
Another name which comes to mind are ropes from the 2D games.

Nice.

I have:

Pumpkin Head, Jalhalla, (it sounds like some random ghost name) and Gyorg. (Could never understand why it was gyorg, just didn't sound like an awesome shark fish)

Re: Goofy names for enemies

Re-deads never made sense...because if they're like zombies then they're just UNdead. To be re dead you would have to be killed twice...right? /confused/

That and ChuChus. Especially when they try to pass one off as a boss fight.

Re: Goofy names for enemies

Redeads to get killed twice d:
Bubbles are honestly the only ones I've found goofier thaan what I would consider normal for a creature. It just like missed, and I laaugh bout it all the time. It's interesting choice for sure, I wonder if it was a translation error like redeads were.

Re: Goofy names for enemies

The bubble takes the price. It looks so metal with the skull surrounded by blue flames and then.... the name sounds so pink and fluffy.

Digdogger kind of threw me at first to be honest -- mostly because my first reaction was '...that's an urchin?' lol

Re: Goofy names for enemies

Like Like has to be the worst offender. Sounds like an awful translation gone wrong or something

No, it is not a translation gone wrong. Read here: Like Like - Zelda Wiki

In fact, its name in Japanese can be transliterated as Like Like.
