They have large white eyes and appear in blue or red varieties, each with a different weapon. They attack Link by running into him.

The blue ones are the most common and are found spread all over the Dark World and Lorule. Red ones are usually only found inside {{Term|ALttP|Ganon's Tower|link}} in their initial appearance, although one appears just north of the [[Village of Outcasts]]. However, in the sequel, Red Taros are more common in Lorule than the Dark World. The red variety can also take and deal more damage. Although Taros do not have shields, they can block Link's attacks with their weapons. | ||
The behavior of a Taros is almost identical to that of a [[Soldier (Enemy)|Soldier]] in the [[Light World]], and alongside [[Moblin]]s they appear to be the mainstays of Ganon's army. Despite this, compared to many Dark World enemies, they are quite weak, able to take and deal less damage than most, but they are much more intelligent and persistent than many of them. | The behavior of a Taros is almost identical to that of a [[Soldier (Enemy)|Soldier]] in the [[Light World]], and alongside [[Moblin]]s they appear to be the mainstays of Ganon's army.

Like [[Soldiers]], Taros in {{ALBW|-}} drop [[Rupee]]s corresponding to their color, i.e., if a red Taros drops a Rupee at all, it will be a Red Rupee. | Like [[Soldiers]], Taros in {{ALBW|-}} drop [[Rupee]]s corresponding to their color, i.e., if a red Taros drops a Rupee at all, it will be a Red Rupee. | ||

In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, a Taros is first briefly seen when [[Link]] enters the [[Palace of Darkness]]. Another Taros later appears while Link is in the [[Swamp Palace]], where it attacks him from behind along with a [[Hinox]]. The foes then shut the entrance to the rest of the palace and impede Link from rescuing the [[Maiden]] inside. As [[Sahasrahla's Grandson]] watches the battle between Link and the Taros from a fountain in the [[Light World]], the boy accidentally activates the statues that cause water to pour into the fountain. This leads to the Swamp Palace in the Dark World to get flooded, washing away both the Taros and the Hinox, who eventually end up sinking as they struggle with each other.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=GLUB!
