Skull Kid

Skull Kid artwork from Ocarina of Time

These childish fey are the souls of children who died in the Lost Woods. They are mischievous and love to pull pranks. They do not like adults at all but love playing with children. It is unclear whether they hold the memories of the child they were before becoming Skull Kids. They are always playing on flutes and like to wear masks. They are only in the Z-Verse currently.

**Physical Description:** In appearance they look like scarecrows with beaks and orange glowing eyes. They don’t seem to have hair but wear straw hats and clothing and love to wear masks. Since they are the lost souls of children they will forever remain the size of the child they were in life and never reach adulthood.

**Society:** Skull Kids do not have a form of government in any sense. They live in the Lost Woods and rarely leave because of their dislike for adults. Instead, they live in the forests constantly playing music and games. As companionship, they will often play games with the Korok especially while they are in their Kokiri form and are very friendly towards them. Children who enter the Lost Woods will often be greeted by them and the Skull Kids will try to play games with them. Lost children either will be guided out of the woods by Skull Kids or more mischievously be lead to their doom so they can stay with the Skull Kids forever. They do not get along with the Stalfos that live in the Lost Woods and typically play pranks on them.

**Gender:** Skull Kids have an average mix between Males and Females.

**Alignment and Religion:** Skull Kids can be of any alignment but are usually Chaotic in some form. Skull Kids do not seem to have any formal form of religion but do respect the Great Deku Tree.
