A Pyrup is an enemy featured in Skyward Sword. They are seal-like enemies that reside in fiery areas.
Strategy
Once Link is spotted by them, they will quickly hide in holes in walls and breathe a stream of fire at Link. Link sometimes can avoid them, but other times the stream of fire will block the objective path forward. To defeat Pyrups, the young hero has to use a Bomb Flower, and set it off near the hole where the Pyrup is hidden in. The Bomb can be set off normally, or automatically if it touches the flame the Pyrup is breathing. The resulting explosion kills the Pyrup.
Shelled Pyrup
This variety of Pyrup is more challenging to defeat as it has taken up residence in an abandoned shell or skeletal remains. Depending on what the Pyrup has lodged itself into, Link will need to adjust his strategy to accommodate for the openings in the Pyrup's shield. Link may need to roll or throw his bomb flower at the enemy. This will take skill as if Link does not move fast enough, the Pyrup with breathe fire at the hero, detonating the bomb flower prematurely in his hands.
Etymology
The name Pyrup derives from "pyro", the Greek word for fire, which is appropriate as they breath fire and live in hot climates, and "pup", a slang term for "puppy", referring to their small, squeaky, juvenile nature.
