Kikwi is a playable race on Hyrule Castle. As one of the fourteen common races, any player can choose to make a Kikwi character.

Canonically, Kikwis have only appeared in Skyward Sword.

Character Creation Brief

Long forgotten by all, this ancient species of strange, ground-dwelling creatures has recently emerged from the Lost Woods. While some dwell there, others migrated in with Hylians and Gorons into Nabooru, or stopped off at thew newly structured Impa. Appearing as small white-and-tan fuzzy creatures with short limbs, adult Kikwi usually stand only as tall as a Hylian children. Large buds grow from their backs, concealing plants that grow on the surface of their bodies. These plants, which can be opened at will, enable natural camouflage, or to carry objects in a manner similar to a backpack.

Though Kikwi are small of stature, the are quick in mind and are usually adept at magic. Gifted in Illusions, Kikwi are exceedingly proficient in concealing themselves to both magical and non-magical means of detection. It is in this way that they have stayed hidden for as long as they have; if they so wished it, many say their race could disappear as easily as they appeared.

A Kikwi begins with a PWC of 1/2/1. This starting PWC can be defied by using the Exception racial perk during character creation.

A Kikwi character can have up to three racial perks of choice. In addition to the general perks available to every race, a Kikwi can also choose from:

• Camouflage: a defensive technique a Kikwi can use to avoid detection
• Compaction Bud: a useful ability which enables the Kikwi to magically shrink and store objects in its bud
• Dowsing: a spell which enables the Kikwi to locate objects or find additional rupees
• Giant Kikwi: an odd mutation which causes the Kikwi's main body to become incredibly large, but slow and short-limbed; this requires two racial perk "slots"
• Heart of the Forest: a trait which makes it easier to acquire Forest-based treasures
• Illusionist: a trait which makes it easier to acquire Illusion-based treasures
