Description
Overworld Enemy #3: Molblin

"A bulldog-like goblin who lives in the forest. He attacks by throwing spears. A little bit meaner than the Octorok."

- The Legend of Zelda Manual

What the Molblin lacks in intelligence, it more than makes up for in brute strength, able to hurl javelins at alarming speeds and with a surprisingly decent amount of accuracy. They are usually very heavily armored on their arms and back, adorned with spikes and sharp edges, but at the expense of leaving their abdomens open for attack. Along with being rather dimwitted, they aren't particularly fast travelers due to their massive upper body weight. However, like many of Ganon's forces, they reside in Hyrule's dense and ancient forests, attack in large groups and can be very dangerous in the case of an ambush.

Note: I prefer the name 'Molblin' to 'Moblin'. According to Legends of Localization, it may not be a typo, as both the first and second Zelda games named these enemies as such. It wasn't until later that Moblin was adopted as the canonical name.
