Technoblins are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. They are Bokoblins found throughout the Lanayru Desert, having invaded and copied the Ancient Robots' technology for themselves. Technoblins appear to work under LD-002G Scervo. The Technoblins have the knowledge to suck ancient robots dry of electricity
They only exist alive in the past, and appear when a Timeshift Stone is activated near them. While not in a radius of an active Timeshift Stone, they appear as skeletons.
Description[]
Technoblins have electrically-charged batons that will shock Link if his sword meets theirs, dealing more damage than a regular Bokoblin, but their movements are much slower, giving Link more openings for an attack. In addition, they have more health than a regular Bokoblin, making it more efficient to knock them over from a distance using a Skyward Strike and finish them with a Fatal Blow, or simply use a Skyward Strike to knock them out of the Timeshift Stone's radius of effect. Like all electrical things and/or electrical enemies, having an Iron Shield or an upgrade of that type will cause the shield to be destroyed if Link blocks a Technoblin's attack (the wooden and Sacred Shield or its upgrades of that type should be used to block successfully). If Link plants a bomb or uses the Beetle, the Technoblins will run away. Link can use this tactic to force them out of a Timeshift Stone's area of effect, turning them into skeletons. Additionally, Link can use a Shield Bash to deflect their baton strikes, stunning them momentarily and giving him an opportunity to attack. Also, when alerted to Link's presence, the Technoblins will take a short while to charge up their swords, giving Link a brief opening to land an attack.

Etymology[]
The name Technoblin seems to be a portmanteau of technology and Bokoblin, referencing their electrical weapons.
