The Blue Oinker Captain and the Red Oinker Captain are large pig-like enemies that appear in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, and are boss-like variants of the more common Oinker. Together, they guard the second area of the large Oinker camp in Auros Ruins. Both Captains are only armored lightly and attack much more aggressively with their pairs of scimitars than their shorter cousins.

Battle

In the first battle phase, Tingle and his Bodyguard can't reach the Captains as they are standing on higher ground in different corners of the room. Tingle has to pick bombs from the plants in the opposite corners and throw them at one of them to start the next phase. To interrupt this attack, the Oinker Captain constantly throw broken Rupee orbs at Tingle which make him drop the ticking bomb. In addition, they will regularly throw three Pubarians, which are even more distracting.

When Tingle successfully hits a Captain with a bomb, it will jump down into the battle area and start a devastating attack. The Blue Oinker Captain will unleash a Spin Attack that last for several seconds, and the Red Oinker Captain will perform multiple jumping attacks which will remove a serious amount of 1,128 Rupees from Tingle each time one hits him. The Captain will eventually become exhausted and vulnerable for a short amount of time.

Even with the strongest Bodyguard, it will still take three successful attempts to defeat one of the Captains this way. The other will continue throwing the orbs during the whole fight until one of them is defeated.

They both have a high chance of dropping one of the most valuable items, the 999-Man Slicer.
