From the official guides

Tough skinned, the Megmat is a dangerous pest.

Nintendo Power, January/February 1989 (Nintendo of America, 1989), p. 22

A hard-skinned, hopping animal like a cross between a fox and a kangaroo. It is very territorial and attacks intruders relentlessly.

ファミリーコンピュータMagazine 特別編集 リンクの冒険 (徳間書店, 1987), p. 7, 101Leafy's translation

It has hard skin and hops about, ramming into you. Read its jumping pattern and stab!! You will take a lot of damage at first, but hang in there!!

It has a hard shell and hops about. An enemy that looks like a mix of a fox, an armadillo, and a kangaroo.

It lives in the grasslands and forests of the southern part of the western continent. It jumps well and leaps at you.
