"Moves up and down by a string suspended from a tree. Blue Deelers drop down to the ground to attack Link."

— Zelda II: The Adventure of Link manual

Deelers are enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. These spider-like monsters come in multiple colors, with the blue version being stronger than the red version. Deelers live in the branches of trees in forests and descend from the trees on a silky thread to attack. While red Deelers retreat back into the trees immediately after an attack, blue Deelers stay on the ground, hopping around to attack their prey. Deelers of both colors appear in both western and eastern Hyrule, but the Deelers in eastern Hyrule are significantly stronger.
