Dairas are humanoid alligators. They have mohawk-like crests on their heads and wield hatchets. Their design heavily resembles that of Zazack, another humanoid alligator enemy with an apparent mohawk.
History
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Dairas appear in orange and red and start appearing midway through the game. Unlike most previous enemy attacks, Dairas' axes are not deflected by Link's shield, necessitating the Reflect magic. Orange ones attack in close range, while red ones are capable of throwing an endless supply of their axes from afar.
