Luminous Stone Talus

Luminous Stone Taluses are a type of Talus, large Golem-like creatures that serves as Bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. They are rarer and stronger variants of the regular Stone Talus.

Behavior
Luminous Stone Taluses spend most of their time hidden. They can deconstruct their bodies and hide in the middle of rocks. Their basic attack involve using their arms in various way. They can punch Link if he gets too close to them or throw them at Link like boulders for a ranged attack. Luminous Stone Taluses can regrow their arms by using rocks after throwing them. They can also slam their body in the ground to hurt Link if he gets too close to them. Their body is completely invulnerable aside from a single node found on their back. Link can hit that node with projectiles like the various Arrows or simply use a Remote Bomb to destroy its arms, make it lose balance and climb on its back to reach the node while they are down. The Stone Talus' node is made out of Luminous Stone and as such glow in the dark. Predictably, the main material they can drop is the Luminous Stone but they also drop Amber and Flint. They have 600 health points.

Hyrule Compendium Entry
"This enormous monster is naturally camouflaged as a rock formation. Neither sword nor arrow can pierce its stony form, but a cunning adventurer knows to scale its body and attack the ore sprouting from its peak. Unlike your average Stone Talus, this type's ore deposit consists mostly of luminous stone."
