*Moldugas are the least common of the base game's 3 sub-bosses, with only four extant individuals. They are also the only sub-boss confined to a single region, and the only sub-bosses present in the [[Gerudo Desert (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Desert]]. Due to their scarcity, they present no variations like other sub-bosses in the base game, the only exception being the DLC-exclusive [[Molduking]].

*Due to their confinement to desert sands, Moldugas are the only enemies in the game whose attacks can be rendered useless solely by Link's position. Even the Molduga's tail whip can be rendered harmless by standing on top of a 2-meter-tall rock.

*Similar to the [[Zora]]s, Moldugas may credit their vulnerability to electric attacks to their possible aquatic origin. This is paradoxical to their environment, however, as most monsters in the [[Gerudo Desert (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Desert]] are electrical in nature.

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
In ''Tears of the Kingdom'', there are four Molduga found in the [[Gerudo Desert (Tears of the Kingdom)|Gerudo Desert]].
===Strategy===
Link does not have the luxury of infinite bombs, but bombs are still a very effective way of defeating the boss. Link should stand on a safe rock or ruins, so he doesn't get gobbled up by the Molduga. From there, he can shoot an [[Arrow]] into the sand nearby. This will cause the Molduga to come on over and jump up from underground. While the Molduga is in the air, Link can shoot an [[Arrow]] fused with a [[Bomb]]. This will cause the Molduga to come tumbling down. Link can then run over and slash away, dealing some damage. Quickly run back before the Molduga is able to awaken. Repeat this process until the Molduga is defeated.
Molduga will leave behind [[Molduga Jaw]]s, [[Molduga Fin]]s, and [[Molduga Guts]]s as rewards, as well as a treasure chest.
