"This thieving fox preys upon travelers and merchants. He may not be strong, but he will attack you very quickly, so be careful."

— Figurine

Keatons are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Anthropomorphic fox-like creatures, they are apt to thievery. Keatons thrive in the vicinity of other races' settlements, where they prey upon unwary travelers. Their strategy is to swiftly attack and knock over their victims, collecting the valuables they consequently drop.

Keatons are often found prowling around in Trilby Highlands just west of Hyrule Town. Upon spotting Link, they will make a dash for him, daggers poised. If Link gets hit by the dagger, he will drop a number of Rupees; the amount is relative to how may Rupees he is currently holding. Keatons come in two different colors: yellow and blue. Even though the latter is stronger, both colors are fairly easy to defeat by conventional means. They will often drop Blue Rupees upon defeat.
