Dynalfos

, also known as, are recurring enemies in.

Characteristics
Dynalfos are armored saurian enemies that serve as a stronger variant of Lizalfos, which they are similar in appearance to. They are, however, physically larger and more menacing than Lizalfos, boasting spikes across their bodies, and the weapons they wield range from blades to axes. Also, they tend to confront Link alone rather than in pairs, as their weaker counterparts do.

In, NaN Dynalfoss appear in the Gerudo's Training Ground and in Ganon's Castle. They fight identically to Lizalfos. They can be defeated by using the Shield to block their hits, and then attacking with the Sword once they let their guard down.

In, a MM: first appears as the mini-boss of the Woodfall Temple, where Link must defeat it to receive the Hero's Bow. They are slightly different from their incarnation as they use different blades, wear different armor, and are able to breathe fire. They are also slightly weaker.

More NaN Dynalfoss appear in the Snowhead Temple, the Secret Shrine, where Link faces three at once, and in the Moon.

In, NaN Dynalfoss appear in the Temple of Time. They can be easily defeated by counterattacking with Hidden Skills, and are susceptible to the Shield Attack and the Helm Splitter. They can also be pelted with Bomb Arrows from a distance. However, this strategy will only work before they can spot Link. The Ball and Chain can also be used to get through their shields, allowing Link to easily hack away with his Sword.

It is difficult to perform an Ending Blow on NaN Dynalfoss, as they are quick to jump back onto their feet once knocked down. However, it is still possible to execute the maneuver provided Link is fast enough.

Dinolfos appear as uncommon, elite enemies in, serving as Captains in several Forces. They resemble their and  incarnations, with the addition of an arm gauntlet they use to defend with. Their attack strategy is identical to their Lizalfos counterparts, including their innate weakness to Bombs, except they are significantly stronger and more aggressive. Dinolfos may attack with the swords they carry, or breathe fire either in the form of fireballs or a stream.

In the Scenario "The Dragon of the Caves" of Cia's Tale, a Dinolfos appear as a Captain in Volga's Forces, called Dinolfos Chieftain. He is accompanied by a Lizalfos Chieftain, and arrives as reinforcements when Cia tries to enlist Volga into her army. They are variants of Dinolfos and Lizalfos are far larger and much stronger. They also appear in multiple main story scenarios that have Volga in it, such as The Sorceress of the Valley, The Land in the Sky and even in a mission in Linkle’s Tale, Powers Collide. He is portrayed as Volga’s loyal servant, and along with the Lizalfos Chieftain both apologize to their master when they must retreat during the battle with Ganondorf in the scenario Darkness Falls.

When defeated, they may drop Dinolfos Fangs as Bronze Material, or occasionally Dinolfos Arm Guards as Silver Material.
