Kikwi are small pear-shaped creatures, with plant bulbs on their backs. This plant bulb is a part of the Kikwi's body, and can be opened at will. Kikwi use these bulbs as camouflage. Tufts of grass or vinelike protrusions grow on Kikwi's heads, creating the appearance of hair and facial hair. A Kikwi's back also appears to develop moss with age, as shown on Yerbal. Most Kikwi appear small, about half the size of Link, with the exception of Bucha.
