Torch slug)
The
Torch Slug (トーチスラグ,
Tōchi Suragu) is a flame-based mollusk that haunts the catacombs of the
Fire Temple in
Ocarina of Time and several
dungeons in
Twilight Princess. Invulnerable while its flames are lit (although this does not apply when using the
Biggoron Sword), the slug will dash towards prey or foe, slamming

into them with great force, usually knocking medium or small sized creatures backwards onto the floor. It is known that weapons like a
sword can be used to destroy their protective flame, uncovering a gray, weak flesh that is the real body of the slug. Striking again will result in the death of the slug. Another good tactic In
Ocarina of Time is to hit the ground with the
Megaton Hammer which flips them while also dousing their fire. They are then immobilized and you can kill them in the normal way. Their signature sound comes from them crawling along the floor, resulting in a high-pitched rubber-like tone.
