Aerocudas are yellow, spotted, wyvern-like Enemies with large, red eyes, a pair of long, thin horns resembling antennae, orange wings with dark spotting, and a tail with a pair of wing-like structures at its tip.
Upon sighting Link, they will fly after him, occasionally attempting to charge into him. They are capable of making high-pitched screeches that alert other nearby Enemies to Link's presence. They are also able to carry other enemies such as Bokoblins and Moblins in their talons in a manner similar to Kargaroks. Some Aerocudas may carry Treasure Chests; these will not attack Link and will focus on keeping their cargo out of his reach.
While swift, they are very easily defeated with most Weapons, only having 2 health points. A single Arrow from most Bows will dispatch them. Link can also Parry an Aerocuda while it is charging at him to instantly kill it, a trait shared with Keese. Aerocudas will also drown if they make contact with Deep Water.
Other Appearances

Nomenclature
"Aerocuda" is likely derived from the prefix "aero-", a Greek prefix for air or flight, and "barracuda", a member of a genus of predatory fish known for their speed.
