| − | Bokoblins are prevalent in {{TWW}}. They have bat-like faces and come in three variants: Blue, Green, and Pink. The most common is the blue-skinned, [[Boko Stick]]-wielding combat form. Green-skinned elites carry [[machete]]s and wooden [[shield]]s. Pink Bokoblins carry [[telescope]]s they use to scan their surroundings, which they also use as weapons to attack. Unarmed Bokoblins will combat [[Link]] hand-to-hand until they can find an available weapon. They can wield any kind of [[Usable Enemy Weapons|weapon]] as needed. They are even strong enough to wield weapons such as [[Moblin Spear]]s and [[Darknut Sword]]s with one arm.{{verify|TWW}} The attack power remains the same, however.{{clarify|reason= What remains the same?

| − | Bokoblins are more intelligent than their Moblin counterparts. Blue Bokoblins man the [[searchlight]]s in the [[Forsaken Fortress]], demonstrating an understanding of machinery. Pink Bokoblins act as scouts on the [[Great Sea]]. They use their telescopes to scan the sea from [[Lookout Platform]]s and rafts tied to [[Submarine]]s. Bokoblins also recognize the danger of [[Bomb]]s and will run away if Link pulls one out. One green Bokoblin in Forsaken Fortress serves as the first [[mini-boss]] of the game. It guards Link's [[Sword]] which he dropped entering the fortress. |

| − | Bokoblins attack by swiping their weapons at Link. Occasionally, Bokoblins will jump back and attempt to swing their weapons at Link which can send the young hero flying backwards if struck. Green Bokoblins are a little more versatile as they are able to defend themselves with their shields. They are not particularly tough enemies however, and can be defeated by most conventional items in the game, especially Link's Sword. If they are knocked back, they may drop their weapons which Link can use against them. Bokoblins, even the sea-faring pink ones, cannot swim. Sometimes, when walking on a bridge, Bokoblins lose their balance and nearly fall, but manage to hang onto the edge. When this happens, a single hit of the Sword or some other weapon causes the Bokoblin to fall and drown. |

They are first encountered in their blue-skinned variant, which carries a small stick and is easily felled. Later, they appear in a purple color, and wield swords. Purple Bokoblins are surprisingly resilient, taking very much abuse before death. They share their blue counterpart's mental drawbacks, however. |

Their appearance resembles that of a Japanese {{Wp|Oni (folklore)|Oni}} moreso than their previous incarnations. They are much bigger than previous Bokoblins (slightly larger than Link himself), and have an extra edge of difficulty. They can block attacks with their weapons, and in order to defeat them, Link must slash around the weapon. Some are also able to wield [[Bow]]s and Bombs, while others may carry a [[Treasure#Monster Horn|Monster Horn]] with which they can summon more Bokoblins. This Monster Horn can be retrieved using the [[Whip]]. Bokoblins also have the ability to balance on tightropes, but will fall off if Link shakes the rope they are on or if they are hit with a projectile or the {{it|Beetle}}. Most Bokoblins are afraid of the Beetle and will run away; Bokoblins with Bows will shoot it at first sight. The Bokoblins appear to be somewhat more intelligent and sociable than their past appearances, even establishing small [[Bokoblin Outposts|Outpost]]s while conflicting with the native [[Mogma]] throughout [[Eldin Volcano]].<ref>{{Cite|Grrr...

| − | Multiple new variations of Bokoblin make an appearance in ''Skyward Sword'', such as [[Technoblin]]s and [[Cursed Bokoblin]]s. Techoblins are found in [[Lanayru Desert]], and like many other enemies in the area, use electricity in the form of a weapon. Cursed Bokoblins are zombies, and can only be found in the depths of the [[Ancient Cistern]] and the [[Sky Keep]] room that represents the former dungeon. While these Bokoblins do not wield weapons, they are extremely resilient and can withstand much more damage than their living counterparts. Later in the game, Blue Bokoblins replace ordinary Bokoblins as a more durable enemy, taking more hits to defeat. The Blue Bokoblin also has a new tactic of attack, similar to Link's [[Jump Attack]]. Green Bokoblins are the dungeon and cave variant of Bokoblins, wearing a skull helmet and a wielding stone club. Their skin slowly began to turn into a shade of green, due to its sun-deficient lifestyle.<ref>{{Cite|This variety of Bokoblin enjoys dark places, such as caves.

||
| − | |||
| − | After the "[[Song of the Hero]]" quest is completed, most of the various types of Bokoblins and Moblins disappear from the overworld completely, leaving Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods devoid of their presence, most likely leaving the woodlands due to the massive flooding caused by [[Faron (Dragon)|Faron]], the Water Dragon. During the [[Horde Battle]] near the end of the game, all varieties of Bokoblins either have significantly increased skills or numbers. Ornamental Skulls and Golden Skulls, however, will not appear after Link defeats a Bokoblin during the Horde Battle. |
||
| − | |||
| − | According to [[Fi]], they are obsessed with their idea of fashion, particularly their unusual leopard-print underwear, which can be seen best if Link performs a [[Fatal Blow]] on one.<ref>{{Cite|None of them are intelligent by any definition of the word.

They mainly serve as the soldiers of the [[Dark Force]]s. As with other infantry troops, they also have a [[Captain (Hyrule Warriors)|Captain]], Shield, Artillery and [[Summoner]] counterparts. In [[Legend Mode]], they appear in "[[The Armies of Ruin]]", "[[The Sorceress of the Valley]]", "[[Land in the Sky]]", "[[Sealed Ambition]]", and "[[The Sacred Sword]]". In "The Armies of Ruins", a small group of Bokoblins drops boulders in front of the mine entrance, attempting to trap Link inside. |

| − | Most Bokoblins are regular foot soldiers that carry large blades. Artillery troops also occasionally appear in smaller groups and fight by shooting [[Arrow]]s. Summoner Bokoblins also appear as an uncommon variant that summons reinforcements, and wear skull masks and carry staves. Unit troops are led by Bokoblin Captains, which wear helmets and carry metal shields. The same type of Captain also appears as a variant that guards [[Keep]]s and [[Outpost]]s. Bokoblin Captains occasionally drop the [[Old Rag]] [[Material]] when defeated. |

Biography
The Monks are found at the end of their respective Shrines of Trials, whose trials inside are their creation.[3][4] They were blessed with the sight of Hylia and are dedicated to those seeking to defeat Calamity Ganon.[2] They await the hero Link to complete their trials, and reward him with Spirit Orbs once he has reached them. After giving Link their Spirit Orbs, they then vanish. The Monks are heavily implied to be Sheikah, due to the Eye Symbol present on their barriers and faces, and also by their dedication to the Goddess Hylia.[1]
