Myus are enemies from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Myus inhabit caves and some palaces. They inch along the ground in a fashion similar to Bots. They are also protected by several white spikes that extend out of their body. Myus are so small that Link can't hit them with a standard sword thrust, even while ducking. The easiest, and often only, way to hit them is with the Downthrust.

When found in Palaces, Myus are often found on disintegrating bridges. Link must jump to avoid the Myu in addition to avoid being dumped in water or lava by the bridge. There is a kind of Myu that lives in the Great Palace. Although visually identical to other Myus, this one is much tougher, dealing more damage to Link and requiring more hits to kill.
