Stalmaster

are recurring NaN Sub-Bosss and NaN Enemies in.

[[SS -]]
Initially, NaN Stalmasters only use two of their arms in combat, wielding two swords, similarly to regular NaN Stalfoss. After taking a certain amount of damage, they unfold their two other arms, which also hold NaN Weapons. The full arsenal of the SSHD: is three swords and an SSHD:. In this four-armed phase, NaN Stalmasters will generally position their sword so that they can only be struck from one direction at a time. NaN Stalmasters are very aggressive while in their four-armed phase, often striking with all four arms in quick succession. They have a strong charging attack where they first guard themselves with all four NaN Weapons, then lunge forward and swing them outward. Like the regular NaN Stalfoss, NaN Stalmasters gradually lose portions of their rib cages as they take damage. When they are close to defeat, their helmets fall off, spawning NaN Hearts.

Another SSHD: is fought as a SSHD: in the SSHD:. This SSHD: is accompanied by NaN Cursed Bokoblins.

NaN Stalmasters appear in as NaN Captain (Hyrule Warriors)s, rather than as NaN Sub-Bosss. Their attack patterns are similar to those of NaN Darknuts, as their eyes will glow red before lunging forward to strike with their swords. Doing so also leaves them vulnerable and exposes their HWDE:. As with NaN Darknuts, they are also weak to the HWDE: when charging their flurry attack, as well as having their HWDE: revealed if the HWDE: fighting them dodges behind them. When defeated, they may drop NaN Stalmaster Wrist Bones or NaN Stalmaster's Skulls. Due to being based on NaN Darknuts, NaN Stalmasters use a HWDE: in place in place of their second sword and have their secondary pair of arms tucked in.

Trivia

 * When the Stalmaster's helmet falls off, it is revealed to have a third eye. This feature, in addition to its four arms, may be a reference to Hindu deities such as and . The Ancient Cistern in which the Stalmaster first appears in makes many references to  themes.
