- "This scent that has been burning in my nostrils...it is the scent of evil. There is one powerful creature I have seen about...but under that beast are many minions who attack and plunder like a pack of hyenas. There are 30... No... At most, 20 of them ahead... They are probably just a small band of survivors... Ragged remnants who have settled, leaderless, into this village."

Bulblins are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They are depicted as short, green, humanoid monsters, that seem to be part of the Goblin race. They are cowardly and always slavishly follow the strong, and as such, they spend the majority of the game as servants of Zant, and by extent, Ganondorf. Bulblins attack with either heavy clubs or bows with burning arrows. Bulblins also occasionally ride Bullbos, with one Bulblin serving as a rider while the other fire arrows at their targets. The ruler of all Bulblins is King Bulblin.
Link first encounters Bulblins when they launch an attack on a Spirit Spring near Ordon Village, and is quickly knocked unconscious by one of their clubs. During his quest, Link encounters and defeats hundreds of Bulblins both in Hyrule Field and various dungeons. They are instantly defeated when hit with an arrow, or, indeed, the Slingshot, making them some of the weakest humanoid enemies there are.
While mostly serving as enemies in larger battles, Bulblins otherwise seem to serve more as comic relief in the game. This can often be seen in Hyrule Field where Bulblins will sometimes lose control of the Bullbos they are riding; something that usually result in them crashing into each other, falling off a cliff, or ramming into various obstacles which will send the riders flying in every which direction.

[edit] Super Smash Bros. Brawl
On the Bridge of Eldin, behind King Bulblin, a Bulblin can be seen running behind. He explodes when he runs past the bomb which destroys the bridge, falls off should he not reach the bomb in time, or can be sent flying with enough hits.
Non-canon warning: Non-canonical information ends here.
[edit] Trivia
- Interestingly, when King Bulblin joins Link, the rest of the Bulblins still try to kill Link.
