{{ | In {{BotW}}, {{Term|BotW|Monster}} is the name given to the category of most animals who harm and are hostile towards {{Term|BotW|Link|link}}.{{Note|A few select animals, like {{Plural|BotW|Maraudo Wolf|link}}, are classified as {{Plural|BotW|Creature|link}} even though they are hostile towards {{Term|BotW|Link}}. Furthermore, many animals are able to cause damage to {{Term|BotW|Link}}, but are not actively hostile towards him, causing them to be classified as {{Plural|BotW|Creature}}.}} Most types of {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} have different variants that differ in strength or attacks.<ref name="Piggyback 300">{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= BotW|page= 300|publisher= Piggyback|edition= Expanded Edition|year= 2018}}</ref> | ||
'''Color variants''' consist of the basic {{Term|BotW|Monster}} and then blue, black, and silver variants of that {{Term|BotW|Monster}}, each with an increase in attack strength and health. While playing in {{Term|BotW|Master Mode|link}}, a fifth color variant is added, gold {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}, which are even stronger than silver {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}. When just starting the game, the {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} encountered would consist mainly of basic {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} with occasional blue-variant {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}; a hidden tally of the {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} defeated is kept by the game, and when certain milestones are hit, the {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} scale-up to stronger color variants.<ref name="Piggyback 300"/> For example, {{Term|BotW|Link}} would encounter regular {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin|link}} and occasional {{Plural|BotW|Blue Bokoblin|link}} when just barely awakening from the {{Term|BotW|Shrine of Resurrection|link}}, but by the time he frees a {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast|link}}, he is most-likely encountering {{Plural|BotW|Blue Bokoblin}} more often and is now encountering new {{Plural|BotW|Black Bokoblin|link}}. | |||
On top of color variants, '''elemental variants''' separate different {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} by elemental abilities; the three elemental variants include {{Term|BotW|Fire|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Ice|link}}, and {{Term|BotW|Electricity|link}}.<ref name="Piggyback 300"/> {{Term|BotW|Fire}} and {{Term|BotW|Ice}} are the opposites of each other, and hitting a {{Term|BotW|Fire}}-type {{Term|BotW|Monster}} with an {{Term|BotW|Ice}}-type {{Term|BotW|Weapon|link}} (or vice-versa) will instantly kill the {{Term|BotW|Monster}}.<ref name="Piggyback 300"/> For example, hitting an {{Term|BotW|Ice Wizzrobe|link}} with a {{Term|BotW|Flamespear|link}} will instantly kill the {{Term|BotW|Monster}}. | |||
Furthermore, many {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} also have a skeletal variant that randomly appears at night to attack {{Term|BotW|Link}} called '''stal monsters'''.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= BotW|page= 322|publisher= Piggyback|edition= Expanded Edition|year= 2018}}</ref> These include {{Plural|BotW|Stalkoblin|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Stalizalfos|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Stalmoblin|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Stalnox|link}}.{{Note|{{Plural|BotW|Stalnox}} are a {{Term|BotW|Boss|link}} which do not randomly appear.}} Their bodies are counted as a separate entity from their skull, with the latter bearing the {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}'s health bar. Generally speaking, skeletal {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} only drop first and second tier {{Plural|BotW|Monster Part|link}} and drop an arm in addition to their held {{Plural|BotW|Weapon}} upon death. | |||
===={{Plural|BotW|Boss}}==== | |||
{{Main|Boss}} | |||
In addition to regular {{Plural|BotW|Monster}}, {{Plural|BotW|Boss|link}} can be encountered anywhere throughout {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|link|display=Hyrule}} at any time. {{Plural|BotW|Boss}} that can be encountered in {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|display=Hyrule}} include {{Plural|BotW|Stone Talus|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Hinox|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Molduga|link}}. Two elemental variants of {{Plural|BotW|Stone Talus}}, {{Plural|BotW|Frost Talus|link}} and {{Plural|BotW|Igneo Talus|link}}, reside in very cold and very hot climates, respectively. {{Plural|BotW|Stone Talus}} and all the color variants of {{Plural|BotW|Hinox}} can be found in the grassy plains that take up most of the {{Term|BotW|Hyrule}}. Unlike the other two bosses, {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} can only be found in the {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Desert|link}}. | |||
The rest of the {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} that make up the {{Term|BotW|Boss}} category are encountered in one-time only battles; {{Term|BotW|Fireblight Ganon|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Thunderblight Ganon|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Waterblight Ganon|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Windblight Ganon|link}}, and {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia|link}} are fought in each {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga|link}} is fought in the {{Term|BotW|Yiga Clan Hideout|link}}, and {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}} is fought in {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle|link}}. | |||
===={{Plural|BotW|Monster Part}}==== | |||
{{Main|Monster Part}} | |||
All {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} drop {{Plural|BotW|Monster Part}} when defeated, which are a class of {{Term|BotW|Material|link}}. {{Plural|BotW|Monster Part}} are grouped into three tiers, with the higher tiers only being dropped by {{Plural|BotW|Monster}} in higher color variant tiers. (i.e. {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Horn|link}}, a first-tier {{Term|BotW|Monster Part}}, can be dropped by any {{Term|BotW|Bokoblin}}, but {{Plural|BotW|Bokoblin Guts|link}}, a third-tier {{Term|BotW|Monster Part}}, can only be dropped by {{Plural|BotW|Blue Bokoblin}} or higher.) {{Plural|BotW|Monster Part}} can be used to create {{Plural|BotW|Elixir|link}}, upgrade {{Term|BotW|Armor|link}} with a {{Term|BotW|Great Fairy|link}}, or sold for {{Plural|BotW|Rupee|link}}. They can also be sold as the only way to obtain {{Term|BotW|Mon|link}}, the currency that {{Term|BotW|Kilton|link}} uses in his shop, {{Term|BotW|Fang and Bone|link}}. | |||
