The flesh-eating undead mummified corpses known as Gibdo (ギブド, Gibudo) have been around since the very first The Legend of Zelda game, and have since appeared in several other Zelda's, like A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask In The Legend of Zelda and A Link to the Past, they'd just walk around, doing a decent bit of damage if one touches you. In A Link to the Past, they have quite a lot of stamina, too, though they can easily be destroyed with the Fire Rod.

A Gibdo in Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, the Gibdo is an enemy very similar to the ReDead being similar in movement, figure and moans. If it crosses eyes with Link, it will freeze him, jump onto his back and start biting around his neck. In Ocarina of Time the Sun's Song will freeze them for some time. In Majora's Mask, Gibdos are normally hostile, but they will become neutral towards Link if he wears the Gibdo Mask. If the player hits them with a Fire Arrow it will burn off their bandages to reveal a ReDead (though this only works in Majora's Mask). Both ReDeads and Gibdos are also unable to harm Goron or Deku Scrub forms in Majora's Mask, as the former is too large and the latter is too small (though both forms are still vulnerable to paralysis). Gibdos are also found in Beneath the Well, where they request Link to bring them certain items in order to earn passage into other chambers of the well.

In The Minish Cap, the Gibdo was similar to its Ocarina of Time counterpart, except that it couldn't freeze you or be frozen. You could kill them by torching them with the Flame Lantern, upon they would turn into Stalfos(this also happens in both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons).

Although the enemies in Twilight Princess' Arbiter's Grounds look like Gibdos, they are actually ReDeads.

Quote from The Minish Cap Gibdo figurine:

"Appear in the Palace of Winds. These mummies keep coming at you when you attack. It's better to fight from a distance if you want to avoid damage."
