BotW Enemies: HP, Drops and Weaknesses of Every Monster

This page lists every regular monster family in Breath of the Wild, the HP of each rank and what each one drops, straight from the game’s own data, plus the one or two facts that make each fight easier. The big solo monsters have their own pages: Lynels, Hinoxes, Taluses and Moldugas.

Which monster families are in Breath of the Wild?

Family	Ranks and types	HP
Bokoblin	red, Blue, Black, Silver, Golden, Stalkoblin	1–1,080
Moblin	red, Blue, Black, Silver, Golden, Stalmoblin	2–1,620
Lizalfos	green, Blue, Black, Silver, Golden, Fire-Breath, Ice-Breath, Electric, Stalizalfos	1–1,296
Lynel	red, Blue-Maned, White-Maned, Silver, Golden	2,000–7,500
Chuchu	normal, Fire, Ice, Electric; three sizes each	3–48
Keese	normal, Fire, Ice, Electric	1
Octorok	Water, Forest, Rock, Snow, Treasure, Sky	8
Wizzrobe	Fire, Ice, Electric, Meteo, Blizzrobe, Thunder	150–300
Pebblit	Stone, Igneo, Frost	20
Guardian	Stalker, Turret, Skywatcher, Decayed, Scout I–IV	13–3,000
Yiga Clan	Footsoldier, Blademaster	72–400
Cursed monsters	Cursed Bokoblin, Moblin, Lizalfos	1–30

Names are the game’s own; HP comes from the game’s parameter files. Wild animals that attack, such as wolves and bears, are animal actors in the game’s data rather than monsters, so they are not here.

What do the color ranks mean?

Bokoblins, Moblins and Lizalfos come in the same ladder: the red or green base kind, then Blue, Black and Silver, each with more HP and better weapons. The game describes the Silver rank as shaped by Ganon’s magic and stronger than even the Black kind, and the gem tables start at Silver. Golden monsters sit above Silver but only exist in Master Mode, the hard mode from the first DLC pack. The game’s description adds that Golden monsters have a high tolerance for electric attacks.

How much HP do Bokoblins have and what do they drop?

Bokoblin	HP	Drops
Bokoblin	13	Bokoblin Horn ×1; Bokoblin Fang 30%
Blue Bokoblin	72	Horn ×1; Fang ×1–2 at 80%; Bokoblin Guts 40%
Black Bokoblin	240	Horn ×1; Fang ×1–2; Guts ×1
Silver Bokoblin	720	Horn ×1; Fang ×2–3; Guts ×1; one gem (Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire 33% each, Diamond 1%); ×2–3 at Amber 20%, Opal 5%, Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire/Diamond 1% each
Golden Bokoblin (Master Mode)	1,080	As Silver, but the gem roll is 32% each and Diamond 4%
Stalkoblin (night only)	1	Fang ×1–2; Horn 50%

Bokoblins are the weakest camp monsters: a red one dies to almost anything. The game notes that Blue Bokoblins have learned to kick a Remote Bomb away, so throw it and detonate at once.

How much HP do Moblins have and what do they drop?

Full page: Moblins.

Moblin	HP	Drops
Moblin	56	Moblin Horn ×1; Moblin Fang ×1–2
Blue Moblin	144	Horn ×1; Fang ×1–2 at 80%; Moblin Guts 70%
Black Moblin	360	Horn ×1; Fang ×3–4; Guts ×1
Silver Moblin	1,080	Horn ×1; Fang ×3–4; Guts ×1; one gem (Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire 30% each, Diamond 10%); ×3–4 at Amber 10%, Opal 6%, Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire/Diamond 1% each
Golden Moblin (Master Mode)	1,620	As Silver, but the gem roll is 28% each and Diamond 16%
Stalmoblin (night only)	2	Fang ×2–4; Horn ×1

Moblins hit hard and reach far. Their legs “resist the force of a bomb blast”, the game says, so bombs will not knock one over, and an unarmed Moblin will pick up a Bokoblin and throw it at you. The Silver Moblin’s Diamond chance (10%) is the best of any camp monster in Normal Mode.

How much HP do Lizalfos have and what do they drop?

Full page: Lizalfos.

Lizalfos	HP	Drops
Lizalfos	50	Lizalfos Horn ×1; Lizalfos Talon ×1–2 at 50%
Blue Lizalfos	120	Horn ×1; Talon ×2; Lizalfos Tail 50%
Black Lizalfos	288	Horn ×1; Talon ×2; Tail ×1
Silver Lizalfos	864	Horn ×1; Talon ×2; Tail ×1; ×1–3 gems (Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire 33% each, Diamond 1%); ×2 at Amber 15%, Opal 8%, Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire 2% each, Diamond 1%
Golden Lizalfos (Master Mode)	1,296	As Silver, but the gem rolls are 32% each and Diamond 4%
Fire-Breath Lizalfos	160	Horn ×1; Talon ×2; Red Lizalfos Tail ×1
Ice-Breath Lizalfos	288	Horn ×1; Talon ×2; Icy Lizalfos Tail ×1
Electric Lizalfos	288	Horn ×1; Talon ×2; Yellow Lizalfos Tail ×1
Stalizalfos (night only)	1	Talon ×1–2; Horn ×1

• Fire-Breath Lizalfos: cold kills it instantly, in the game’s words, so one Ice Arrow ends the fight.
• Ice-Breath Lizalfos: fire kills it instantly; one Fire Arrow is enough.
• Electric Lizalfos: its horn is charged, and an arrow that hits the horn makes the charge arc out to anything nearby, the game warns. Its electric dome can also make you drop metal gear.

The three elemental tails are the only source of Red, Icy and Yellow Lizalfos Tails, which go into elixirs and dishes.

How do you beat Stal monsters?

Stalkoblins, Stalmoblins and Stalizalfos are the skeletons of the three camp families. They come out only at night. One solid hit knocks a Stalkoblin or Stalizalfos apart (a Stalmoblin takes a few), but “as long as a skull remains intact” it pulls itself back together, as the game puts it. Break the skull while the body is down and the monster is gone for good.

How much HP do Chuchus have and what do they drop?

Full page: Chuchus.

Size	Chuchu HP	Fire, Ice, Electric Chuchu HP	Jelly
Small	3	12	×1; one more at 30% (Electric 60%)
Medium	20	20	×2; ×1–2 more at 60%
Large	48	48	×3; ×2 (elemental ×2–3) more at 80%

A normal Chuchu drops Chuchu Jelly, a Fire Chuchu Red Chuchu Jelly, an Ice Chuchu White Chuchu Jelly and an Electric Chuchu Yellow Chuchu Jelly. The game advises spears, arrows or other reach weapons because elemental Chuchus burst when hit up close. A normal Chuchu that was heated, cooled or shocked before it died drops the matching colored jelly (the game’s description), and hitting normal Chuchu Jelly on the ground with an element changes it the same way: a cheap way to get the kind you need for elixirs.

What about Keese and Octoroks?

Full pages: Keese and Octoroks.

Monster	HP	Drops
Keese	1	Keese Wing ×1–2; Keese Eyeball 30%
Fire, Ice, Electric Keese	1	Fire, Ice or Electric Keese Wing ×1–2; Keese Eyeball 30%
Water, Forest, Rock, Snow Octorok	8	×2–3 at Octorok Tentacle 25%, Octo Balloon 50%, and 25% an item the data does not name; Octorok Eyeball ×1–2 at 10%
Treasure Octorok	8	×3–5 rupees (Green 40%, Blue 20%, Red 5%, Purple 1%, Silver 0.5%); ×2–3 at Tentacle 30%, Octo Balloon 70%; Octorok Eyeball ×1–2 at 10%
Sky Octorok (Master Mode)	8	Nothing

• Keese fall to a single hit; even a whole swarm goes down to one swing.
• Water Octoroks spit rocks you can send back with a raised shield, the game says. A Rock Octorok breathes in before it spits, and it can suck up a weapon or bomb with that breath.
• Treasure Octoroks pose as buried chests in sand or snow. The game points out that the chest is not magnetic: if Magnesis cannot pull a buried chest, it is a Treasure Octorok.

How do you beat Wizzrobes?

Full page: Wizzrobes.

Wizzrobe	HP	Rod it carries
Fire Wizzrobe	150	Fire Rod
Ice Wizzrobe	150	Ice Rod
Electric Wizzrobe	150	Lightning Rod
Meteo Wizzrobe	300	Meteor Rod
Blizzrobe	300	Blizzard Rod
Thunder Wizzrobe	300	Thunderstorm Rod

Wizzrobes have no material drops at all: their drop tables are empty, and you only get the rod they held. A Fire or Meteo Wizzrobe dies to one ice weapon or Ice Arrow, an Ice Wizzrobe or Blizzrobe to one fire weapon or Fire Arrow; Electric and Thunder Wizzrobes have no such counter. Each one changes the weather around it, and the game notes it goes back to normal once the Wizzrobe is beaten. The rods are listed with the other weapons.

What do Pebblits drop?

Pebblit	HP	One roll
Stone Pebblit	20	Amber 60%, Flint 30%, Opal 10%
Igneo Pebblit	20	Amber 60%, Flint 30%, Ruby 10%
Frost Pebblit	20	Amber 60%, Flint 30%, Sapphire 10%

Pebblits are young Taluses. The game says a bomb blast is enough to blow one away, and a Stone Pebblit can be picked up and breaks when you throw it. Grown-up Taluses are on the Talus page.

How much HP do Guardians have?

Full page: Guardians.

Guardian	HP
Guardian Stalker	1,500
Guardian Turret	1,500
Guardian Skywatcher	1,500
Decayed Guardian	500
Guardian Scout I	13
Guardian Scout II	100 (375 in Minor Tests of Strength)
Guardian Scout III	1,500
Guardian Scout IV	3,000

Guardians are the only source of ancient materials. The game points at their weak spots: breaking a Stalker’s legs cripples it, and destroying a Skywatcher’s propeller brings it down. Drop rates, all 145 overworld Guardians on a map and the best farming spots are on the ancient materials page.

What about the Yiga Clan?

Full page: Yiga Clan.

Yiga	HP	Drops
Yiga Footsoldier	72	Mighty Bananas ×1; ×3–5 rupees (Green 25%, Blue 30%, Red 15%, Purple 3%)
Yiga Blademaster	400	Mighty Bananas ×1–2; ×1–2 at Amber 10%, Opal/Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire 1% each

Footsoldiers often pose as travelers or villagers until you get close, the game warns; a stranger on the road who attacks once you talk to them is one. Both ranks carry Mighty Bananas, their favorite food.

What are Cursed Bokoblins, Moblins and Lizalfos?

They are floating skulls brought back by Ganon’s Malice, with 1 HP (Bokoblin and Lizalfos) or 30 HP (Moblin), and their drop tables are empty. They keep appearing from a patch of Malice until you destroy its eye. You meet them in Hyrule Castle and inside the Divine Beasts; see the Calamity Ganon page and the Divine Beast order guide.

How strong are the big monsters?

Monster	HP	Full page
Hinox / Blue Hinox / Black Hinox	600 / 800 / 1,000	Hinox locations
Stalnox	1,000	Hinox locations
Stone Talus / Luminous / Rare	300 / 600 / 900	Talus locations
Igneo Talus / Frost Talus	800 / 800	Talus locations
Molduga	1,500	Molduga locations
Lynel / Blue-Maned / White-Maned / Silver / Golden	2,000 / 3,000 / 4,000 / 5,000 / 7,500	Lynel locations

Each of those pages has every spawn point on a map, the full drop tables and how to win the fight. The Lynel has “a natural resistance to all elements”, according to the game, so elemental arrows do not stop it the way they stop Lizalfos or Wizzrobes.
