Character and Enemy Name Confusion! A Field Guide (Vol. 1)

OK. Let's see. We got some Kokiri: Mido, Fado, and some others sounding like those. We also got: Monblins, Moriblins, Moblins, Bokoblins, Miniblins, and Bulblins. Whaaaaaa?! That's confusing! The Kokiri ones especially; they're the easiest to mix up. The Mido guy is in OoT and is the dude that hates Link and thinks he's in charge. Fado is the former Sage of Wind in WW.

As for the -blins, here's a list that will clear those up:
  • Monblin=a giant Moriblin that has a giant hammer that sends out giant shockwaves everytime it hits the ground, found at the end of the Sacred Forest Meadow in Lost Woods as an adult in OoT.
  • Moriblins=a creature that looks a bit like an angry dog, these muscular monsters will charge at you with a spear in Sacred Forest Meadow in Lost Woods as an adult in OoT.
  • Moblins=These pig-like things carry long pikes and are really pretty stupid, except when it comes to security in Forsaken Fortress. They can be found in Forsaken Fortress and a bunch of other places in WW.
  • Bokoblins=These guys sometimes carry a sword or a bow, but they are most often found wielding Boko Sticks. They are found all over in WW.
  • Miniblins=These annoying runts hunt in packs and make weird noises when hunting. They are found all over in WW and PH.
  • Bulblins=These goblin-like monsters are usually seen riding Bullbos. They are notorious for being obnoxiously good archers. They are found all over in TP.

Hope this was a bit helpful. Those that are not so easily confused probably found this pointless, but for those of us who are easily confused by these kinds of things, it was probably pretty useful.

EDIT: OK, already! So, apparently the writers of the OoT Perfect Guide at Versus Books made up the names "Moriblin" and "Monblin". Maybe they really are just Moblins (although I swear I remember Navi's ID'ing thing saying that the giant one was a Monblin). Whatever. Doesn't really matter any more at this point.
