Gorons are a race of rock-like creatures that appear in the The Legend Of Zelda series. Despite their potential appearance as monsters, they are friendly and civilized. They often inhabit mountainous regions and run mining towns. They appear as Guest Objects in the Wii U and European 3DS versions of Scribblenauts Unlimited.
They have 233 HP and deal 6 damage with their unarmed attacks.
Like other Nintendo guest objects, Gorons can only be given specified items, cannot have adjectives applied to them, and cannot be edited with the Object Editor.
Behavior[]
Gorons are neutral to all other NPCs and the player unless they are provoked. When they are attacked, they fight back.
They will eat nearby Rocks, Boulders, Huge Boulders, and anything with the Stone adjective. They will also interact with various Explosives to set them off.
Gorons are completely Fireproof, and can even survive the lava pools of Vowelcano. (Although they sink in it.)
Gorons can be given Coins, Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Super Stars, Yoshi Eggs, Rupees, Ocarinas, Hookshots, the Triforce, and the Master Sword.
Weirdly, a glitch causes Gorons to increase in size once if the level is ever reloaded while they are in it, or if they are taken out of the Magic Backpack. This only happens once per Goron, but is able to be stacked with the effects of a Super Mushroom assuming the Mushroom is used before the reload. This is especially noteworthy because size adjectives like Colossal are not able to be applied to Gorons. This glitch appears in all versions of the game.
Trivia[]
- The Gorons that appear in Scribblenauts are actually Goron children. Specifically, they're based on Goron Children seen in both The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
- This may have been chosen for the Goron's design as Scribblenauts generally prefers the designs from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. While traditional Gorons don't appear in that game, Phantom Hourglass shares the same art style.
- Gorons being Fireproof is a reference to their rock-like skin.
- Gorons setting of Explosives is a reference to how they are frequently miners.
- They're often mining for Rocks to eat, which is another behavior of theirs.
- While Gorons run away from explosives they activate with in the Wii U version, they don't do this in the 3DS version and often get caught in the blast.
- Gorons do not set of Bob-ombs, despite them being interactable.
- Gorons have more HP than Ganon and Bowser, as they have 233 HP instead of 200.
- The number 233 is also oddly specific, and the reason why is unknown.
- Gorons do not have the most HP of all Nintendo items though, as Epona has 1000 HP.
