Bokoblin: Difference between revisions

Bokoblins have a much different visual look in ''Skyward Sword'', taking on a more [[Moblin]]-like appearance. Some of them have small caps on top of their heads, wear bandannas or masks, and sometimes even have beards. These differences do not seem to have an effect on how they battle. They also have an apparent affinity for exotic undergarments.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1969|Fi}}</ref>

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin (Leader)}}}}Red Bokoblin Leaders have the same look and tactics as the sword Bokoblins, the only difference being the blue cap it wears and the [[Monster Horn|horn]] it carries.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1970|Fi}}</ref> If a Leader spots Link it will utilize its horn as an alarm calling for backup. In the beginning, the only way to get rid of this horn is to kill the leader. However, once Link has completed the [[Ancient Cistern]] and obtained the [[Whip]], he can now use it to steal the horn from the Leader's waist belt. This does not kill the Bokoblin; it simply steals the horn.  

{{Float|right|{{Fi|Red Bokoblin (Archer)}}}}Archers are characterized by a skull cap and a bandanna covering its mouth. Every different colored Bokoblin archer behaves generally the same way. When they spot Link they will raise an alarm much like the Bokoblin Leaders. Archers attack from a distance.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1973|Fi}}</ref> Although the archers range can be dangerous early on in the game, it only takes one hit to take them out.

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Cursed Bokoblin}}}} A new variation known as the [[Cursed Bokoblin]] are zombified enemies found within the underground section of the [[Ancient Cistern]]. They are much slower than the normal variation and do not have a sword to block Link's attacks. However, they're much tougher than they look, as they can take a seemingly endless amount of hits from Link's sword. The most efficient way to kill them is by using the [[Fatal Blow]] once they have been knocked down. Also, when Link brandishes any of the shields in the [[Sacred Shield]] series, the Cursed Bokoblins appear to be afraid of the shield and begin to retreat back from Link.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1980|Fi}}</ref>

{{Float|right|{{Fi|Blue Bokoblin}}}}The Blue Bokoblin is a very stronger variation of the standard Red Bokoblin. Because of this extra strength, it is much tougher to defeat. It has the same attack patterns as the Red Bokoblin, but has different clothing and skin color because of the fact that it hails from a different environment.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1971|Fi}}</ref>

{{Float|left|{{Fi|Green Bokoblin}}}}Green Bokoblins wield hammers and are seen to be wearing white skull caps and tooth necklaces. They are basically a dungeon version of the Red Bokoblin, but take slightly more damage.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1976|Fi}}</ref> These also come in an Archer variety which looks exactly the same as a Red Archer, only green.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1977|Fi}}</ref> They enjoy caves, and because of this the color of their skin has turned green.

Technoblins are ancient Bokoblins that had access to high tech weapons.<ref>{{Cite|SS|1972|Fi}}</ref> These Bokoblin are often found when a [[Timeshift Stone]] is activated near a Bokoblin Skeleton in [[Lanayru Desert]]. The tactics for defeating this variation are the same as any other sword wielding Bokoblin. Link must be extra careful not to hit the sword they carry as it is electric and can be very dangerous to Link. If Link's sword makes contact with this weapon he is shocked and looses one heart.
