Stag Beetles are masked arthropod enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass where they appear in the Temple of Ice. While the English name calls it a beetle, its design and Japanese name indicate a spider instead. Behaviorally, they are extremely similar to Helmasaurs. Additionally, their internal file name is "HLoop," an abbreviation of "Hip Loop," Helmasaur's Japanese name, indicating a deliberate basis. Stag Beetles wander around a small area, with their footsteps making a distinct clicking sound. When Link approaches, they run in place before charging quickly in his direction, with their horned masks acting as defense. To defeat one, Link must attack its abdomen, though due to the curve of the mask, he has to be precisely behind it. Once Link obtains the grappling hook, he can use it to grab the hoop on top of the mask and remove it, leaving them defenseless from all sides. Once this happens, the Stag Beetle will flee from Link until it is defeated.
