TotK Stal Enemies: Stalkoblin, Stalmoblin, Stalizalfos HP, Drops

A loading tip warns: “When night falls, skeletal Stal monsters will emerge from the ground. Stay vigilant!” Stal monsters are the remains of Bokoblins, Moblins and Lizalfos. Their bodies fall apart at a touch, but they pull themselves back together as long as the skull is intact. This page covers the HP, tactics and drops of all three in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and maps the 108 the game places in fixed spots. Each family’s full data is on Bokoblins, Moblins and Lizalfos; other monsters are in the enemy overview.

What kinds of Stal enemy are there?

HP is from the game’s parameters. All three take double damage to the head.

Two more Stal monsters have pages of their own: the giant Stalnox in Hinox locations, and the Stalhorse in the horse guide.

How do you beat Stal enemies?

• Break the skull. The Compendium says a Stalkoblin will “continue to pull themselves back together and go on fighting” as long as a skull remains intact. The body falls apart in one hit; then hit the skull on the ground and it is gone.
• Throw a Dazzlefruit. The Compendium says Stalkoblins and Stalmoblins hate light; a thrown Dazzlefruit destroys Stal monsters outright.
• Aim for the head. The damage settings give all three a head hitbox that takes double damage, and a lightning strike deals 999,999.
• Take its arm. When the body falls apart, the arm can be picked up as a weapon: Bokoblin Arm, Moblin Arm or Lizalfos Arm.

What do Stal enemies drop?

Chances are from the game’s drop tables; a roll is one draw from that row. Stal monsters drop no horns.
