Stalchildren are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. They are undead, skeletal creatures that seem to be closely related to Stalfos, except more child-like and unarmed. Stalchildren seem to be nocturnal, as they are only seen at night, and when the sun rises, they immediately disappear. In the original Japanese language versions of the games, Stalchildren are referred to as "Stalbabies," while the seemingly unrelated Skull Kid race are referred to as Stalchildren instead.
