Stalfos

Stalfos are living skeletons that carry swords and sometimes shields. They are found in most of the Zelda games in some form. In the original The Legend of Zelda (and also its remake BS Zelda), some carried important items which could be seen through their rib cage. In Link to the Past, some could jump and throw bones. In Ocarina of Time, smaller, weaker Stalfos (called Stalchildren (singular Stalchild) would appear at night in Hyrule Field, as well as the larger kind from earlier games. There are also stronger Stalfos known as Stalfos Knights. They're burly, and will require you to use your bomb on them, once taken down. The Wind Waker featured new types of Stalfos that would spin heavy, spiked war clubs. They will likely appear again in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
