Bulblin
Bulblins are enemies found in Twilight Princess. They have green skin and wear bandit gear, which presumably enables them with defense. They wield one of two weapons: a club or bow with flame-ignited arrows. The Bulblins armed with clubs also have a quiver of arrows on their back, indicating the possibility that all Bulblins are armed identically, but choose one or other weapon at any given time. The Bulblins also ride Bullbos (usually two on each Bullbo) and shoot their flaming arrows at Link. In the Twilight, they become Shadow Bulbins, which alters their appearance so they look like minuature versions of Shadow Beasts and wear masks of a sort. They attack in the smae way, with arrows or clubs.
They are one of the most common enemies in the game and seem to fill out the gap left in the Zelda series where Moblins and other similar creatures have abandoned it. They seem to have a significant presence in Hyrule by the time of Twilight Princess. They serve their leader, King Bulblin, who in turn serves Zant.
The Bulblins seem to be an advance party for Zant's Shadow Beasts. They went to the four springs of Hyrule where they cleared the path for Zant's invasion of Hyrule by opening up the springs of each of the provinces. Link manages to destroy their base camp in the Gerudo Desert and by the end of the game, they decide not to fight for Ganondorf and are seen in the end credits running through Hyrule Field with their King, possibly being at peace with Hyrule. The fate of their species or where they came from is still unknown.
Template:Spoiler After King Bulblin is defeated, he decides to admit defeat to Link in cohesive speech, proving Bulblins can speak Hylian, which Midna expresses surprise over. He decides to form an alliance with Link, as he is "on the winning side". Although, it should be noted that Bulblins in Hyrule Field and other places still attack Link, despite being under a leader that joined forces with him.
They appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on the stage Bridge of Eldin. When King Bulblin races by, a Bulblin will occasionally run after him. They can be knocked off the bridge by hitting them a few times.
