Korok Explorer

"A Scout unit that can fly. Can also detect hidden units."

- Tooltip

Korok Explorers are flying Korok scouts for the Kokiri.

Description
Korok Explorers venture from the forest in search of new fertile grounds to plant Deku Trees. They can spot just about anything, and can also fly long distances with little rest.

Gameplay
A single Korok Explorer spawns as one of the player's starting units upon beginning a Skirmish match. Further Explorers can be recruited from the Korok Colony. However, as the Korok Colony doesn't become available until the Town Phase, the original Korok Explorer is a crucial pawn in the early game.

As opposed to the Hunting Fox, the Korok Explorer remains visible to enemies. However, unlike the Hunting Fox, the Explorer's ability to fly means it can avoid both obstacles and melee units, and potentially approach points of interests much faster if the player knows their location. Their ability to avoid melee combatants means they are perfect for capturing and holding down Ruin nodes, even with Armos present. However, their low health and visibility makes them easy targets for ranged units, and thus makes them unsuitable to scouting out enemy bases.
