Hinox

Hinoxes are a mini-boss found around Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Being a mini-boss, they are a difficult enemy that appears in many variants, with many valuable drops.

In-game
Hinoxes are usually found sleeping in clearings, and when Link comes near them, they will awaken and attack. They wear necklaces strung with swords and equipment, which Link can steal if he lands on top of a sleeping Hinox. If Link engages in battle with a Hinox, it will swipe, punch, or throw trees at Link. Shooting an arrow at the Hinox's eye is effective for attack. Once defeated, they drop their guts, toenails, and teeth, as well as assorted weapons and food.

Red Hinox
This is the standard and weakest variety. When defeated, it drops fruit, along with its teeth, toenails, and guts, and some weapons. There is one Red Hinox at Mount Taran identified as the Youngest Kin.

Blue Hinox
This variant of Hinox, which is stronger than the standard red variety, behaves similar to the aforementioned, but has better drops. If Link goes out of its reach, like the red variant, it will throw boulders at him. When defeated, as well as its toenails, teeth, and guts, it drops some better weapons, and fish. There is one Blue Hinox at Mount Taran that is identified as the Middle Kin.

Black Hinox
This is the strongest Hinox in the game. It behaves much differently than the other variants, and drops much better loot. When Link goes out of this variant's reach, it throws Bomb Barrels at him. Once defeated, it drops its toenails, teeth, guts, royal and strong weapons, and cooked meats. There is one Black Hinox at Mount Taran that is identified as the Oldest Kin.
