Poe (The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass)

Poes are a spectral type of creature found on the Ghost Ship in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. While they share their English name with another ghost from the series, they are very little alike. Poes in this game are lengthy, purple, fish-like creatures with large lips and bat-like noses. They wear gold bands on their wrists and tails, and have several cyan markings across their bodies. They float slowly through the air, and spit a far-traveling blue fireball at Link when they see him, regardless of direction. After this, they teleport to another area to repeat the process, similar to typical Wizzrobes. If Link is near where they reappear or he approaches one from behind, they may disappear without shooting any fire. The main danger from them comes from obstacles such as Guru Guru Bars and pits commonly found near them making it harder to avoid their fireballs, compounded by the distance which they can warp over obstacles. Poes are first encountered as a group of three acting as a miniboss, guarding the first Cubus Sister. Due to only being found on the Ghost Ship, once the dungeon is completed, they cannot be encountered again.
