These cactus-like monsters, better known as enemies in the Super Mario Bros. series, dwell in the deserts of Koholint Island and Holodrom. The creatures do not move very fast, and can only harm Link if he is careless enough to touch one. Be careful and strike away each section of their body with your sword.

• By hitting a Pokey with a Mystery Seed, they will recover destroyed parts of their body.
