Characteristics

Tri Force Heroes

Spear Throwing Moblins appear identically to the spear-wielding Moblins of A Link Between Worlds. As with their previous incarnation, they carry with them spears that they throw at the Links as javelins. Spear Throwing Moblins will back away and try to maintain a distance from the Links as they aim their spears at them. They are prolific to the Woodlands region of the Drablands, appearing in the Deku Forest and Moblin Base. They also appear in the Secret Fortress and the Den of Trials. In the Moblin Base and Den of Trials, Spear Throwing Moblins can be found riding Totem Armos. In these instances, the Links will need to form a Totem to reach the Moblin's height to knock it down, causing the Totem Armos to self-destruct in the process.

In the Den of Trials, a dark variant of the Spear Throwing Moblin appears. These Moblins throw shadowy javelins that will jinx a Link it hits, preventing him from using his Sword.

Other Appearances

Moblin Spearthrowers carry spears with them as they patrol the areas they belong to. Most Moblin Spearthrowers will not actively attack Link, however, some Moblin Spearthrowers crouch down and throw a barrage of Spears at him. Their thrown Spears can be blocked with the Shield. Moblin Spearthrowers appear in numerous Stages throughout Koridai. The Moblin Spearthrowers that inhabit Nortinka drop Snowballs after being defeated.

Lupay enslaves Koridians by replacing their souls with Rubies, turning them into Moblin Spearthrowers.

The Wand of Gamelon



Spear Throwing Moblins are among the most common of Ganon's soldiers in Gamelon. Most of them will not pursue and attack Princess Zelda directly, though some will crouch and throw their Spears at her. These can be deflected with a Shield.
