A Stalnox first appears in ''Age of Calamity'' during the [[Freeing Korok Forest]] scenario. It fights similar to its Hinox counterparts by launching themselves into the air, trying to fall on top of a nearby warrior. The Stalnox will also grab bones from its body, using them as weapons to attack a nearby warrior. | A Stalnox first appears in ''Age of Calamity'' during the [[Freeing Korok Forest]] scenario.

Each time a Stalnox is defeated, the player will receive a [[Hinox Trophy]]. These can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors. | Each time a Stalnox is defeated, the player will receive a [[Hinox Trophy]].

The '''Stalnox''' reappears in ''Tears of the Kingdom''. One can be found in a large cavern room while venturing through the [[Royal Hidden Passage]]. | |||
===Strategy=== | |||
As with any Hinox, their biggest weakness is the eye. A well-aimed shot will give Link a chance to land more hits. There is only one difference: unlike the Hinox, the Stalnox takes more than just arrows. Once their health is reduced to below 50%, the eye will fall out of its socket and will be vulnerable to close-combat sword strikes. This is the only way to deal damage to the beast during this phase, as the bones become invincible. After Link lands a couple of hits on the eye, it will return to its owner and will need to be knocked out again. At this stage, the Stalnox will become wise to the attacks, and begin covering its eye. The best strategy is to get close to the Stalnox, and let it attack. Then, loose an arrow into the eye once it is exposed, and it will drop out. | |||
One tactic that can be used if Link runs out of melee weapons is to shoot the eye, which causes the Stalnox to drop to the ground. Link can run up to it to find more weapons. Stalnoxes are the only Stal type enemy who are not instantly defeated by [[Dazzlefruit]]; they will instead be blinded briefly like most other enemies. | |||

Albeit there is indeed a Stalnox in the Valley (whose inanimate bones are shown in between the palm trees), there is no such Stalnox atop the mountain, and even if it were, it wouldn't be in the capacity to roam in broad daylight. | ||
