According to IGN, these are called Sentry Sentinels. http://uk.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword/Sentry_Sentinel Fyrisvellir 17:28, 6 November 2011 (EST)

Image
The current image is incorrect, this is an image of a type of guardian that flies to chase link if the ones with the mace can't reach him. The sentries are ghost like creatures with lanterns.--Arkenaw 10:57, 22 November 2011 (EST)

the "Poe" cameo in SS?
Anyone else notice how the Sky Watchers look and act extremely similar to Poes? They make that little rattle/chimey noise when you're near them or if they spot you. Due to how they move and carry lanterns, they look like a dead-ringer for Poes to me. Can't believe no one's mentioned this... -_-; Totally a fan-theory, but: this could explain Poe's existence entirely. Poes could really just be Watchers that have escaped from the Silent Realm. It makes total sense! Infinitysend 18:55, 6 December 2011 (EST)


 * Sky Watchers are definitely Poe-like, at the very least. I thought of it at once, too. I doubt very much it explains their existence (a Trial mechanism created by the Goddess in SS, more akin to ghosts in other titles. Neat idea though!), but their similarity could probably be pointed out in a blurb in a trivia section or something. 19:38, 7 December 2011 (EST)

Fi's Comment
Might I ask how and where one would go about hearing Fi's Comment about the Watchers? It's not in her introductory analysis, she does not speak of them upon approach, and it's not a subject you may ask about upon entering Naryu's, Din's, or Hylia's Silent Realm.

 * I believe you have to fail the trial three times in order to get Fi to reveal the comment in question. --Shiningpikablu252 00:05, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

"Undead"?
Where in the games does it state that Watchers are ghosts or undead? Just floating and appearing similar to Poes doesn't seem like a strong argument for me. --KingStarscream 22:00, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. While they do appear similar to Poes, there's no evidence supporting the idea that they are undead. That category was added to the page before Skyward Sword was released anyway, so it was probably just an incorrect assumption that never got removed. 12:09, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * EDIT: My mistake. It turns out that the Undead Category appears due to the inclusion of Template:GhostEnemy, so unless we change the Template, there's no way to remove the Category from this article. 12:22, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm going to recommend changing it then. Thanks for finding that out. --KingStarscream 13:18, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
