Reapling

Reaplings are undead enemies encountered on the Ghost Ship in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. They wear a purple robe, carry a scythe, and have a skull-like face. Behaviorally, they are almost identical to Phantoms.

In the game, Reaplings move back and forth in a set route continuously. They cannot be defeated, but Link can stun them temporarily if he shoots an arrow in their back using his bow. If a Reapling hits Link, he loses two hearts. Reaplings can pass through walls and also see through them unless Link is on a safe zone. If Link is with a Diabolical Cubus Sister and she screams, a Reapling goes to where she screamed at. In one part, a Cubus Sister said that the Reaplings in the Ghost Ship should have scared Link.

Trivia

 * If the player is using a cheating device, Link can be equipped with the Phantom Sword earlier in the game and defeat Reaplings with it.
