Nejiron is a very strange looking enemy that appears in Majora's Mask.

Nejiron appear in Road to Ikana and in the Stone Tower Temple. They're rock-like creatures that look and move similar to Goron. They have adapted their moving pattern to directly resemble a rolling Goron, making them more deadly when the are encountered.[1]

They smell like gunpowder, indicating their explosive nature and that they should be avoided.[2]. They will 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 will explode once they have been defeated. However, each time a Nejiron has been defeated, a new one will dig itself up from underground, making this a seemingly endless struggle. Link can wear the Stone Mask to avoid these enemies all together.

Trivia

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