Nejirons appear on the [[Road to Ikana]] and in the [[Stone Tower Temple]]. They are rock-like creatures that look and move similar to [[Goron]]s. They have adapted their moving pattern to directly resemble a rolling Goron, making them more deadly when they are encountered.{{Ref|[http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/n.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Nejirons appear to be simple creatures, but they are in fact highly evolved hunting machines. They have adapted to resemble a rolling Goron, but instead of passing by peacefully, a Nejiron will charge ruthlessly into is victim.}}

According to [[Tatl]], they smell like gun powder, indicating their explosive nature and that they should be avoided.{{Ref|MM|3668|[[Tatl]]}}. They attack Link by rolling into him, crushing him in the process. The best way to defeat them is by using long-range weapons including the [[Bow]] or the [[Hookshot]], as the enemy explodes once they have been defeated. However, each time a Nejiron has been defeated, a new one digs itself up from underground, making this a seemingly endless struggle. Link can wear the [[Stone Mask]] to avoid these enemies altogether.

*In Japanese, the word ''Neji'' means twisted or warped, where the suffix of -ron is likely taken from the term [[Goron]]. Thus these creatures are named by the characteristic of being a twisted Goron.
