'''Wōsu''' are lupine enemies in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', where they are found in most [[palace]]s. They resemble humanoid dogs wearing armor and wielding swords. Despite their weapons and armor, they are extremely weak, taking only one hit from [[Link]]'s [[Magical Sword]] regardless of strength level. As such, they tend to appear in large amounts and give no experience. Their only attack is to run forward with a bouncing, skipping motion. In western releases they, like other experience-less enemies, actively steal Link's experience points if they manage to attack him. Of additional note is that their artwork and sprite are inconsistent with each other as their sprite has boots like [[Iron Knuckle|Ironknuckle]]s, while their artwork has bare paws. Additionally, a red pixel can be seen near the tip of the sword, possibly intended to represent a drop of blood. | '''Wōsu''' are lupine enemies in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', where they are found in most [[palace]]s.

Wōsu are lupine enemies in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, where they are found in most palaces. They resemble humanoid dogs wearing armor and wielding swords. Despite their weapons and armor, they are extremely weak, taking only one hit from Link's Magical Sword regardless of strength level. As such, they tend to appear in large amounts and give no experience. Their only attack is to run forward with a bouncing, skipping motion. In western releases they, like other experience-less enemies, actively steal Link's experience points if they manage to attack him. Of additional note is that their artwork and sprite are inconsistent with each other as their sprite has boots like Ironknuckles, while their artwork has bare paws. Additionally, a red pixel can be seen near the tip of the sword, possibly intended to represent a drop of blood.
In the Captain N: The Game Master episode Quest for the Potion of Power, a large pack of Wōsu are fought in the Parapa Palace.
