Molduga | {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} are giant {{Plural|BotW|Monster|link}} that swim through the {{Plural|BotW|Sand|link}} of the {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Desert|link}}.<ref name="Compendium">{{Cite|This massive monster swims beneath the desert's sand. It spends most of its time submerged, but if it senses sound, it will breach the surface to feast on whatever it can grab. Running around carelessly can be dangerous if you suspect there may be one in the area.|Hyrule Compendium|BotW}}</ref> They resemble four-legged {{Plural|BotW|Fish|link}} and patrol their territories in search of prey. {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} are sensitive to sound, and they will rise out of {{Term|BotW|Sand}} to eat whatever they can find.<ref name="Compendium"/> As a result, it is considered dangerous to enter the domain of a {{Term|BotW|Molduga}}.<ref name="Compendium"/> | ||
Once they become aware of {{Term|BotW|Link|link}}'s presence, {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} will barrel towards and attempt to ram into him. {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} can be fought while {{Term|BotW|Shield Surfing|link}} with the help of a {{Term|BotW|Sand Seal|link}}. Due to their sensitivity to loud noises, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can strike them with {{Plural|BotW|Remote Bomb|link}} or {{Plural|BotW|Bomb Arrow|link}}, causing them to be stunned once they jump out of the {{Term|BotW|Sand}}.<ref>{{Cite|You...you haven't killed any {{Color|BotW Blue|Moldugas}} yet? Here, let me give you a hint. I've noticed that they're {{Color|BotW Red|very sensitive to sound}}. If you scare them from a distance with a big noise, maybe you can stun them long enough to take them out.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> When defeated, {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} drops one or two {{Plural|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} containing various {{Plural|BotW|Weapon|link}}, {{Plural|BotW|Molduga Fin|link}}, and {{Plural|BotW|Molduga Guts|link}}. | |||
As part of the "{{Term|BotW|Medicinal Molduga|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Side Quest|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Malena|link}} requires {{Plural|BotW|Molduga Guts|link}} in order to cure her husband's illness, but none of the soldiers in {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Town|link}} are willing to defeat one for her.<ref>{{Cite|I... I finally found the voe of my dreams, and I just recently married him... I thought I had finally found happiness... But then...my husband fell ill with a rare disease... One difficult to cure. The only thing that can save him is the {{Color|BotW Blue|guts of a Molduga}}... But I would never be able to take down such a creature myself... I asked the soldiers for help, but... Why would they want to help me? The {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} is a menacing beast... None who face one escape unscathed... So perhaps it's foolish to expect anyone to stick their neck out for a stranger... I thought I'd finally gotten out of this town... Never thought I'd have to come crawling back...|Malena|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} brings her {{Term|BotW|Molduga Guts}}, she gives him a {{Term|BotW|Gold Rupee|link}} as a reward.<ref>{{Cite|[Here, take 'em.] Wait, these... {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga guts}}! {{Big|You...

After {{Term|BotW|Link}} defeats {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}} for the first time, he will be able to ask {{Term|BotW|Kilton|link}} about {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}}.<ref name="Kilton"/> As part of his research, he has determined that four {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} can be found in the entirety of {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|[The giant sand beast.] The giant sand beast... More commonly known as the {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}}. They're giant monsters that live in the sand of the desert. According to my sources, there are only {{Color|BotW Red|four}} of them in Hyrule.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> Due to their size, {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} is unable to safely approach them, so he asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he could defeat all of them, allowing {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} to analyze the scent their fluids leave behind.<ref>{{Cite|I'm currently after them myself, but they're just so big! I can't even get near them... So could I ask you to find them and, uh, harvest their materials? I'm talking {{Color|BotW Red|all}} of them. That way, I'll be able to analyze the scent of their fluids that will inevitably stick to your body during battle. That will allow me to determine their habits, behaviors, and overall qualities. I'm counting on you...|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} returns to {{Term|BotW|Kilton}} after defeating all of the {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}}, he will be able to smell them clearly, and he gives {{Term|BotW|Link}} the {{Term|BotW|Medal of Honor: Molduga|link}} as a reward.<ref>{{Cite|*sniff sniff* This scent... This! This is! You've done it! You've defeated all the {{Color|BotW Blue|Moldugas}}! Oh, this scent! It's as if a {{Color|BotW Blue|Molduga}} was standing right in front of me! Tha-thank you so much! Oh, yes! Here, let me give you this.|Kilton|BotW}}</ref> | |||
As part of {{TCB}} [[DLC]] Pack, the {{Term|BotW|Molduking|link}} will appear in the {{Term|BotW|East Barrens|link}}. It is a more powerful subspecies of {{Term|BotW|Molduga}}, known to build up energy by sleeping underground for hundreds of years.<ref>{{Cite|This massive monster swims beneath the desert's sand.

{{ | {{Plural|Series|Molduga}} may pay tribute to {{Term|Series|Molgera|link}}, the {{Term|Series|Boss|link}} of the {{Term|Series|Wind Temple|link}} in {{TWW}}. {{Term|Series|Molgera}} itself has its name derived from ''mogura'', which is Japanese for mole. The four {{Plural|BotW|Molduga}} act similar to {{Term|Series|Molgera}} by being submerged in {{Term|Series|Sand|link}}, further supporting this claim. | ||
