It's a Snapper! The way these things move, they never expose the weak part of their body!

Drops
When the Snapper is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
 Recovery Heart | 56.25% |
| Recovery Heart ×3 | 12.5% |
| What Link is short of | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 25% |
What Link is short of decides, checked in this order: a Fairy at 1 heart or less, Recovery Heart ×3 at 3 hearts or less, Recovery Heart ×1 at 5 hearts or less, a Magic Jar (large) with magic below half, 30 Arrows with fewer than 6 arrows, Bomb (5) with fewer than 6 bombs, and a Red Rupee with fewer than 11 Rupees. Otherwise nothing.
Arrows need the Hero's Bow and bombs need a Bomb Bag; magic needs the magic meter. Without them that slot drops nothing. A Recovery Heart at full health becomes a Green Rupee.
The arrow that defeats it decides the drop, whatever the slot: a Fire Arrow gives 30 Arrows, an Ice Arrow a Recovery Heart, and a Light Arrow a Purple Rupee.
Where to find it
Official guide
A turtle-type monster. It curls its hard body up and rams you. Attack its weak point, the belly, with a Deku Flower jump or similar to defeat it.
Watch out for this monster's speed and sharp, razor-like spikes. Use a bomb to knock it on its back and then attack it with your Sword.
