Moblin

The Moblin is considered the primary muscle of Ganon's evil army. They've been around since the very first Zelda game, and are generally considered to be big, brutish and stupid. The Moblin is sometimes viewed as a larger, more elite form of the smaller Bokoblin, or smaller still, the Miniblin. In The Wind Waker, Moblins are known to carry Skull Necklaces, items which Link can later sell for quite a nice price.

Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Spear Moblin  figurine:

"Appears in the Minish Woods, ect. They rush you on sight. They also block head- on attacks with their spears, so circle around to attack."

Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Bow Moblin  figurine:

"Appears in various areas. They fire arrows at you on sight. Block these with your shield and then close in to attack."
