Bokoblin

In the wilds of Hyrule, the Bokoblins roam as peculiar and mischievous beings, bearing an enigmatic connection to ancient malevolence. Created by an ancient Demon King, they are kin to the formidable Moblins, often found serving dark forces under the yoke of their sinister masters. Resurrected by the eerie Blood Moon, they are bound to their demon lords, their wills enslaved to serve malevolent designs.   However, among the hordes of the Bokoblin clans, rare instances arise where a Bokoblin may break free from their enchantment and roam masterless. Untethered from the control of demon lords, these curious wanderers showcase a mean-spirited nature, but not true evil. Driven by curiosity and instinct, they explore the realms with an unpredictable whimsy, sometimes stumbling into acts that might be deemed good, even if purely by accident. Under the right circumstances, a masterless Bokoblin might be inclined to help others or perform a seemingly altruistic deed, though such moments of goodwill are as fleeting as a summer breeze.   Known Settlements: Bokoblins thrive anywhere, but their antagonistic ways usually results in them being driven to the edges of civilization. They are commonly found in caves or forests where they form small war bands where they will follow a bigger 'Boss Bokoblin' or instead take orders from Moblins, Lizalfos, or anyone they perceive as being bigger and stronger.
