Lord of the Mountain

The Lord of the Mountain,also known as Satori is a creature who's appearance is that of a horse; like ordinary horses, he can be ridden by Link. Unlike horses, however, it is clear that the Lord of the Mountain is a spiritual apparition rather than a natural creature.

He can be distinguished from a horse by his luminescent blue color, his deer-like cloven hooves, a pair of golden, frond-like antlers, a shaggy, white, lion-like mane, and a face that resembles a pair of barn owls, pressed together side-by-side. The outer wings of the owls hang down on either side of his head like droopy ears, and the wings that face each other are merged together to form a single large, floppy structure that occupies the ordinary place of a nose and mouth. The Lord of the Mountain's four eyes (two eyes per face) glow with the same golden color as his antlers and hooves. His torso is covered in mysterious, geometric tattoo-like symbols that alternate in color between pink and green. The Lord of the Mountain can be found at a spring atop Satori Mountain when a green glow appears.

The Lord of the Mountain is said to be the reincarnation of a sage that protects Hyrule Kingdom and the animals in the forest. Its appearance upon the mountain coincides with a massive animal migration to Satori Mountain implied to be due to the Lord of the Mountain's presence which causes the monsters, on the mountain to temporarily disappear from the mountain as long as the Lord of the Mountain is present, demonstrating how powerful the Lord of the Mountain is.

Its title, "Lord of the Mountain", may be quite literal, as even the animals recognize it as their lord and protector.
