Low on hearts means the warning beep is on: half a heart or less when Link has 3 to 5 hearts in all, 1 heart or less with 6 to 8, 2 hearts or less with 9 to 11, and 3 hearts or less with 12 to 14.

Each of these kills also counts toward a Piece of Power.

They always appear near a hole, which is lucky because the only way to get rid of them is to hit them enough times to back them into the hole.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide, Nintendo of America, 1993, p. 98.

Its shell is incredibly hard. Only bombs can damage it. There's always a pit nearby, so knock it in with your sword.
