Kilton is a monster fanatic who owns the [[Fang and Bone]] traveling shop. He only appears at night near settlements, selling unique objects such as masks that act as camouflage against specific monsters. Kilton is first heard of through rumors told by travelers about a strange shop specializing in monsters set on the left eye of [[Skull Lake]], in [[Deep Akkala]].{{Fact}} [[Hoz]], the guard of [[East Akkala Stable]], will also be searching for him and fears that he is up to no good.{{Fact}} Speaking to Hoz will begin the [[Side Quest]], "[[A Shady Customer]]", which tasks [[Link]] with finding Kilton and reporting back to Hoz.

{{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is a {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}} {{Term|BotW|Monster|link}} fanatic who owns the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone|link}} traveling shop where he sells {{Term|BotW|Monster}}-related wares. He can only be encountered during the night, when the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}} appears. Initially, the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}} can only be found at {{Term|BotW|Skull Lake|link}}
 
When first spoken to, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} will be startled by {{Term|BotW|Link|link}}'s sudden appearance, though he becomes disappointed when he realizes he is simply a {{Term|BotW|Hylian|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|HOOOOOOOYAG!}} ... Hmm? Oh. It's just a {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylian}}.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks who he is, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} introduces himself and asks if came because he heard rumors of a {{Term|BotW|Monster}} {{Term|BotW|Shop|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|[Who are you?] Me? My name is {{Color|BotW Red|Kilton}}. I suppose you're here because you heard I was opening a monster shop, and you wanted to see it for yourself.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He further explains that he is still preparing for the grand opening of the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}}.<ref>{{Cite|[Monster shop?] Yes. I'm opening a monster shop called {{Color|BotW Blue|Fang and Bone}}. But I'm still preparing for my grand opening.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> To prove his point, he provides {{Term|BotW|Link}} with his business card, which advertises the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}}.<ref>{{Cite|Here's my business card...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|- Fang and Bone -<br/>Come see ol' Kilton for the most {{Color|BotW Blue|monstrous}} deals in all of Hyrule!|N/A|BotW}}</ref> However, he requests that {{Term|BotW|Link}} return the card to him because it is the only one he has.<ref>{{Cite|I'm...going to need that card back. It's the only one I have.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>
 
{{Term|BotW|Kilton}} then hesitantly asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he is interested in {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}.<ref>{{Cite|Anyway... Do you, uh... Are you into monsters?|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> I {{Term|BotW|Link}} affirms that he likes them, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} then asks how much he likes them.<ref>{{Cite|[I like them.] How, uh... How much do you like them?|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} claims to adore them, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} interjects and states that he loves {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} more than {{Term|BotW|Link}} does.<ref>{{Cite|[I ADORE monsters!] {{Big|I LOVE MONSTERS MORE THAN YOU DO!}}|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> After taking a moment to calm himself, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} apologizes to {{Term|BotW|Link}} for his outburst.<ref>{{Cite|... I...uh... Sorry! I did it again.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He explains that he loves researching {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} so much that he decided to open the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}}, which is dedicated to them.<ref>{{Cite|I just love the field of monster research so much that I decided to open a shop all about monsters! I call it...{{Color|BotW Blue|Fang and Bone}}!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>
 
{{Term|BotW|Kilton}} informs {{Term|BotW|Link}} that he travels all over {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Kingdom|link}}, though he is unsure where he should visit next.<ref>{{Cite|I travel all around Hyrule in search of rare and exciting monster parts. But I'm not sure which village I should visit next.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> During his musings, he discusses the benefits of visiting {{Term|BotW|Kakariko Village|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Hateno Village|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Rito Village|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Lurelin Village|link}}, and {{Term|BotW|Tarrey Town|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Blue|Kakakriko Village}} or {{Color|BotW Blue|Hateno Village}}? Though {{Color|BotW Blue|Rito Village}} and {{Color|BotW Blue|Zora's Domain}} are also good options. Hmm... I suppose I could go all the way to {{Color|BotW Blue|Gerudo Town}} or {{Color|BotW Blue|Lurelin Village}}. But {{Color|BotW Blue|Lake Akkala}} is much closer.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> Thinking about it excites {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} so much that he decides to take off from {{Term|BotW|Skull Lake}}.<ref>{{Cite|RAWWWWWRGH! I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself! I can't just sit around while there are monsters to be studied! I'm off!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> Before he leaves, he tells {{Term|BotW|Link}} that he is sure they will meet again in a village during the night.<ref>{{Cite|I'm sure we'll meet again in some {{Color|BotW Red|village}} during the {{Color|BotW Red|night}}. Fare thee well!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Kilton}}, along with the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}}, will then disappear.
 
Following this encounter, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can find {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} on the outskirts of all the villages he mentioned starting at 9:00 PM. The spots where {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} appears are marked by a {{Term|BotW|Sign|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Fang and Bone<br/>(only open at night)|Sign|BotW}}</ref>


When Link investigates said place, he finds Kilton lamenting about the lack of business in such a remote place.{{Fact}} He then decides to become a traveling merchant and immediately sets off.{{Fact}} From then on, Kilton will be found every night from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM near villages. Kilton is never seen moving his shop. If Link is still around after 5:00 AM, he will stay until spoken to, at which time he will bid his farewell and suddenly disappear to the bewilderment of Link. During the day, the spots where Kilton appears are marked by a signpost.
During their second meeting, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} will once again be surprised to see {{Term|BotW|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|HOOOOOOOYAG!}} Ahhh...it's just you. You startled me.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He announces that the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}} is officially open for business.<ref>{{Cite|My {{Color|BotW Red|monster shop}} is now open for business!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> Since it is {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s first time shopping at the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}}, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} decides that the first thing they will do is convert his {{Plural|BotW|Monster Part|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Mon|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Seeing as how you're a first-time customer here at {{Color|BotW Blue|Fang and Bone}}... our first order of business will be converting your {{Color|BotW Blue|monster parts}} to {{Color|BotW Red|mon}}.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks what {{Term|BotW|Mon}} is, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} explains that he loves {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} so much that he turned them into money.<ref>{{Cite|[What is mon?] {{Color|BotW Red|Mon}} is a {{Color|BotW Red|currency}} I invented to destabilize the market and fight the establishment! Just kidding, there is no establishment in Hyrule! I just love monsters so much that I turned them into money!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>


When first spoken to on any given night, Kilton is seen searching for something in the back of his shop. He then notices Link's scent, suspecting it is a monster and turns around to be startled before recognizing Link.<ref>{{Cite|This smells like {{Color|BotW Blue|Bokoblin}} or maybe... I see... That's a shame.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This smell... <nowiki>*sniff sniff*</nowiki> Is it a Chuchu? Or perhaps... AHHHH! Oh, it's just you.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This smell... <nowiki>*sniff sniff*</nowiki> Is it a Moblin? Or perhaps... AHHHH! Oh, it's just you.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This smell... <nowiki>*sniff sniff*</nowiki> Is it a Lizalfos? Or perhaps... AHHHH!

Oh, it's just you.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This smell... <nowiki>*sniff sniff*</nowiki> Is it a Molduga? Or perhaps... AHHHH! Oh, it's just you.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He will then offer to exchange monster parts for [[Mon]], a currency that Kilton uses. The amount of Mon received varies between what monster part was given, ranging from 1 Mon for an Octo Balloon to 150 Mon for a shard of a [[Dragon]]'s horn. Mon can be used to purchase various masks or items from Kilton.
{{Term|BotW|Kilton}} explains that if {{Term|BotW|Link}} brings him {{Plural|BotW|Monster Part}}, he will give him {{Plural|BotW|Mon}} in exchange.<ref>{{Cite|Here's the deal: if you bring me {{Color|BotW Blue|monster parts}}, I'll exchange them for {{Color|BotW Red|mon}}.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> The {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}} is the only business that accepts {{Plural|BotW|Mon}}, which {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} considers to be exclusive.<ref>{{Cite|I'm the {{Color|BotW Blue|only business}} in Hyrule that accepts {{Color|BotW Red|mon}} as payment! Pretty exclusive, eh?|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> With {{Plural|BotW|Mon}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} is able to purchase {{Term|BotW|Monster}} gear, which {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} created based on his research.<ref>{{Cite|Anyway, you can spend your {{Color|BotW Red|mon}} on various types of {{Color|BotW Blue|monster gear}} that I've created based on my research.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} also reveals that he is constantly developing more {{Term|BotW|Monster}} gear, so he reminds {{Term|BotW|Link}} to check out the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}} between his adventures.<ref>{{Cite|Ah... Another thing. I'm always developing new {{Color|BotW Blue|monster gear}}, so remember to check back in between your {{Color|BotW Red|adventures}}.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He then encourages {{Term|BotW|Link}} to start exchanging {{Plural|BotW|Monster Part}} with him.<ref>{{Cite|So let's exchange the {{Color|BotW Blue|monster parts}} you have for {{Color|BotW Red|mon}}!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>


[[File:BotW Kilton's Shop at Hateno Screenshot.jpg|thumb|Kilton's Shop in Hateno Village]]
On subsequent visits, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is able to smell {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} on {{Term|BotW|Link}} before he turns around.<ref>{{Cite|This smells like {{Color|BotW Blue|Bokoblin}} or maybe...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This smell... *sniff sniff* Is it a Chuchu?

Or perhaps...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This smell... *sniff sniff* Is it a Stone Talus? Or perhaps...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He will be surprised to see {{Term|BotW|Link}} once he turns to face him, at which point he welcomes him to the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}}.<ref>{{Cite|AHHHH! Oh, it's just you. Good evening... How may I help you?|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} leaves, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} will hope to see him again in the future.<ref>{{Cite|I hope to see you again another monstrous {{Color|BotW Red|night}}...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} is still at the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}} after 5:00 AM, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} will realize that it is time for him to leave.<ref>{{Cite|Ack! Is it that time already? I need to get this show on the road!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>
The gear sold by Kilton depends on the number of [[Divine Beast]]s Link has freed. At first, Kilton will only propose the cooking material [[Monster Extract]] for 9 Mon, the [[Wooden Mop]] weapon for 19 Mon and the [[Bokoblin Mask]] for 99 Mon. After one Divine Beast, he will add the [[Spring-Loaded Hammer]] for 199 Mon and the [[Moblin Mask]] for 199 Mon. After two Divine Beasts, he will add the [[Lizalfos Mask]] for 299 Mon, the [[Monster Bridle]] for 399 Mon and the [[Monster Saddle]] for 299 Mon. After the third Divine Beast, he will add the [[Lynel Mask]] for 999 Mon. After freeing all four Divine Beasts, Kilton will add the three pieces of the [[Armor|Dark Link Set]], comprised of the Dark Hood for 1999 Mon and the Dark Tunic and Dark Trousers for 999 Mon each. Each of these wares can be purchased multiple times, with the exception of the Monster Saddle and Monster Bridle. Kilton will only have one of each item in stock every night, except for the Monster Extract, which has a stock of 20 every night.


Apart from his merchant activity, Kilton is particularly interested in the scent of rare monsters. After Link has defeated every [[Overworld]] [[Boss]] of a single type in [[Hyrule]] at least once, Kilton will notice the scent and award Link with a [[Medal of Honor]] associated with the monster. This includes defeating all 40 [[Stone Talus]] Bosses to receive the Talus Medal,<ref>{{Cite|You—! You've defeated every last {{Color|BotW Blue|Stone Talus}}! Oh, you are FRAGRANT, my friend. It smells like there's a {{Color|BotW Blue|Stone Talus}} standing right in front of me!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> all 40 [[Hinox]]es to receive the Hinox Medal and all four [[Molduga]]s to receive the Molduga Medal.<ref>{{Cite|You've done it! You've defeated all the {{Color|BotW Blue|Hinoxes}}! Oh...you are FRAGRANT. It's as if there was a {{Color|BotW Blue|Hinox}} standing right in front of me.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You've done it! You've defeated all the {{Color|BotW Blue|Moldugas}}! Oh, this scent! It's as if a {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} was standing right in front of me!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>
{{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is the subject of the "{{Term|BotW|A Shady Customer|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Side Quest|link}}. At the {{Term|BotW|East Akkala Stable|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Hoz|link}} shares that he has heard rumors about {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} and the {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone}} and that his activities have made the people of {{Term|BotW|Akkala|link}} uncomfortable.<ref name="Hoz"/> He asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} to share the appearance of any suspicious individuals he sees, especially if he spots {{Term|BotW|Kilton}}.<ref>{{Cite|Well, if you see any suspicious people, please tell me {{Color|BotW Red|what they look like in detail}}! Really! If you see this {{Color|BotW Red|Kilton}} character, please tell me all the {{Color|BotW Red|juicy details}}. I'm counting on you!|Hoz|BotW}}</ref>


==Appearance==
To satisfy {{Term|BotW|Hoz}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} must take a {{Term|BotW|Picture|link}} of {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} with the {{Term|BotW|Camera|link}} to show him.<ref>{{Cite|If you find someone fitting of that description, get an image of him to show to Hoz.|Adventure Log|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} shows him the {{Term|BotW|Picture}}, {{Term|BotW|Hoz}} will chuckle before remarking that {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is strange.<ref>{{Cite|Heheheh. I see... How strange.|Hoz|BotW}}</ref> He thanks {{Term|BotW|Link}} for showing it to him, as he believes it will help him hunt {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} down.<ref>{{Cite|Seriously, I can't thank you enough! This will surely help me hunt him down. Really, I must thank you somehow!|Hoz|BotW}}</ref>
Kilton is smaller than Link, with an elongated head and dark grey skin and eyes. His lower lip bears two marks imitating fangs, a yellow one on the left and a white one on the right. He is mostly bald, with a single, curled tuft of white hair on his forehead, curled mustaches and a beard shaped like five forward-facing horns. He wears striped shorts, no shoes and a weary shirt ornamented with a skull pin and a big cowl with a big hole to fit the top of his head with two brightly colored buttons sew to imitate monster eyes. He also wears gauntlets imitating scaly, clawed monster arms and a ring on each ear.


Kilton's shop is a trolley with a big hot air balloon-shaped ragtag patchwork of brightly colored cloths, crates and buttons held together by strings and chains. Skulls are displayed on the front of the shop, as well as on the back, with colored bags. Inside the booth behind Kilton are some pots, books, a bokoblin mask and a moblin mask. On the center of the trolley is a big glowing purple ball, in addition to lanterns which also give off light and make the shop particularly noticeable at night. Additionally, there is a horn on the right side of the trolley playing a distinctive and ominous song.
After defeating {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} is able to ask {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} about certain {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}, which {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is happy to talk about.<ref>{{Cite|[About monsters...] {{Big|Dya DYAAAAAAAH!}} You want to know about monsters? I just LOOOOOVE talking about monsters!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He decides to talk about the big ones, specifically {{Plural|BotW|Stone Talus|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Hinox|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Molduga|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Ooh. OOOOOOOH! Let's talk about the {{Color|BotW Red|huge ones}}! The {{Color|BotW Blue|stone colossus}}? The {{Color|BotW Blue|forest giant}}? The {{Color|BotW Blue|giant sand beast}}?! Which monster do you want to hear about?|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is aware of how many of each of the {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} reside in {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Kingdom}}.<ref>{{Cite|[The giant sand beast.] The giant sand beast... More commonly known as the {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}}. They're giant monsters that live in the sand of the desert. According to my sources, there are only {{Color|BotW Red|four}} of them in Hyrule.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is currently pursuing these {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}, but he is unable to get near them due to their size.<ref>{{Cite|I'm currently after them myself, but they're just so big! I can't even get near them...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} to find and defeat all of the members of these giant {{Term|BotW|Monster}} species.<ref>{{Cite|So could I ask you to find them and, uh, harvest their materials? I'm talking {{Color|BotW Red|all}} of them.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He plans on analyzing the scent of their fluids that will stick to {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s body during their battle, which will allow him to learn about their habits, behaviors, and other qualities.<ref>{{Cite|That way, I'll be able to analyze the scent of their fluids that will inevitably stick to your body during battle. That will allow me to determine their habits, behaviors, and overall qualities.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He tells {{Term|BotW|Link}} that he is counting on him.<ref>{{Cite|I'm counting on you...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>


==Nomenclature==
Once {{Term|BotW|Link}} has defeated all of the members of a {{Term|BotW|Monster}} type, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} will be able to smell it on him.<ref>{{Cite|You—! You've defeated every last {{Color|BotW Blue|Stone Talus}}! Oh, you are FRAGRANT, my friend. It smells like there's a {{Color|BotW Blue|Stone Talus}} standing right in front of me!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|*sniff sniff* This scent... This! This is! You've done it! You've defeated all the {{Color|BotW Blue|Moldugas}}! Oh, this scent! It's as if a {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} was standing right in front of me!|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> To reward {{Term|BotW|Link}} for his assistance, he will gift him a {{Term|BotW|Medal of Honor|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Tha-thank you so much! Oh, yes! Here, let me give you this.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He claims that as long as {{Term|BotW|Link}} has his {{Term|BotW|Medal of Honor|link}}, he will always be with him.<ref>{{Cite|As long as you have this... {{Big|I'll always be with you!}}|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> He reassures {{Term|BotW|Link}} that he will no longer have to suffer in silence, empathizing with his pain for having to kill a {{Term|BotW|Monster}}.<ref>{{Cite|You don't have to suffer in silence anymore. I know how much it hurts you every time you kill a monster.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> While {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} considers destroying {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} to be "soul-crushing work," he recognizes that it must be done.<ref>{{Cite|Destroying monsters for their materials is soul-crushing work, but it must be done.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref>

Biography

Breath of the Wild

Kilton is a Hylian Monster fanatic who owns the Fang and Bone traveling shop where he sells Monster-related wares. He can only be encountered during the night, when the Fang and Bone appears. Initially, the Fang and Bone can only be found at Skull Lake

When first spoken to, Kilton will be startled by Link's sudden appearance, though he becomes disappointed when he realizes he is simply a Hylian.[6] Link asks who he is, Kilton introduces himself and asks if came because he heard rumors of a Monster Shop.[7] He further explains that he is still preparing for the grand opening of the Fang and Bone.[8] To prove his point, he provides Link with his business card, which advertises the Fang and Bone.[9][10] However, he requests that Link return the card to him because it is the only one he has.[11]

Kilton then hesitantly asks Link if he is interested in Monsters.[12] I Link affirms that he likes them, Kilton then asks how much he likes them.[13] If Link claims to adore them, Kilton interjects and states that he loves Monsters more than Link does.[14] After taking a moment to calm himself, Kilton apologizes to Link for his outburst.[15] He explains that he loves researching Monsters so much that he decided to open the Fang and Bone, which is dedicated to them.[16]

Kilton informs Link that he travels all over Hyrule Kingdom, though he is unsure where he should visit next.[17] During his musings, he discusses the benefits of visiting Kakariko Village, Hateno Village, Rito Village, Zora's Domain, Lurelin Village, and Tarrey Town.[18] Thinking about it excites Kilton so much that he decides to take off from Skull Lake.[19] Before he leaves, he tells Link that he is sure they will meet again in a village during the night.[20] Kilton, along with the Fang and Bone, will then disappear.

Following this encounter, Link can find Kilton on the outskirts of all the villages he mentioned starting at 9:00 PM. The spots where Kilton appears are marked by a Sign.[21]

During their second meeting, Kilton will once again be surprised to see Link.[22] He announces that the Fang and Bone is officially open for business.[23] Since it is Link's first time shopping at the Fang and Bone, Kilton decides that the first thing they will do is convert his Monster Parts in Mon.[24] If Link asks what Mon is, Kilton explains that he loves Monsters so much that he turned them into money.[25]

Kilton explains that if Link brings him Monster Parts, he will give him Mon in exchange.[26] The Fang and Bone is the only business that accepts Mon, which Kilton considers to be exclusive.[27] With Mon, Link is able to purchase Monster gear, which Kilton created based on his research.[28] Kilton also reveals that he is constantly developing more Monster gear, so he reminds Link to check out the Fang and Bone between his adventures.[29] He then encourages Link to start exchanging Monster Parts with him.[30]

On subsequent visits, Kilton is able to smell Monsters on Link before he turns around.[31][32][33][34][35][36][37] He will be surprised to see Link once he turns to face him, at which point he welcomes him to the Fang and Bone.[38] When Link leaves, Kilton will hope to see him again in the future.[39] If Link is still at the Fang and Bone after 5:00 AM, Kilton will realize that it is time for him to leave.[40]

Kilton is the subject of the "A Shady Customer" Side Quest. At the East Akkala Stable, Hoz shares that he has heard rumors about Kilton and the Fang and Bone and that his activities have made the people of Akkala uncomfortable.[2] He asks Link to share the appearance of any suspicious individuals he sees, especially if he spots Kilton.[41]

To satisfy Hoz, Link must take a Picture of Kilton with the Camera to show him.[42] When Link shows him the Picture, Hoz will chuckle before remarking that Kilton is strange.[43] He thanks Link for showing it to him, as he believes it will help him hunt Kilton down.[44]

After defeating Calamity Ganon, Link is able to ask Kilton about certain Monsters, which Kilton is happy to talk about.[45] He decides to talk about the big ones, specifically Stone Taluses, Hinoxes, and Moldugas.[46] Kilton is aware of how many of each of the Monsters reside in Hyrule Kingdom.[47] Kilton is currently pursuing these Monsters, but he is unable to get near them due to their size.[48] He asks Link to find and defeat all of the members of these giant Monster species.[49] He plans on analyzing the scent of their fluids that will stick to Link's body during their battle, which will allow him to learn about their habits, behaviors, and other qualities.[50] He tells Link that he is counting on him.[51]

Once Link has defeated all of the members of a Monster type, Kilton will be able to smell it on him.[52][53] To reward Link for his assistance, he will gift him a Medal of Honor.[54] He claims that as long as Link has his Medal of Honor, he will always be with him.[55] He reassures Link that he will no longer have to suffer in silence, empathizing with his pain for having to kill a Monster.[56] While Kilton considers destroying Monsters to be "soul-crushing work," he recognizes that it must be done.[57]

Even after collecting the Medals of Honor, Link can continue to ask Kilton about the giant Monsters.[58] Despite sharing Link's pain, Kilton will excitedly praise him for being able to defeat them all.[59][60][61] Due to Link's assistance, Kilton was able to learn about the structure and diet of Stone Taluses,[62] the Food preferences between different types of Hinoxes,[63] and the size limits of Moldugas.[64] He once again thanks Link for his help.[65][66]
