Stone Taluses are the most basic variant of the Talus bosses. They debuted in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild where they blend in with other rocks until Link gets into their attacking range. They can throw their arms like boulders, slam their enormous body into the ground and are almost completely invincible aside from a single node found on their back, which can be accessed by climbing on them while they are on the ground.
Luminous Stone Talus[]
The Luminous Stone Talus is a special type of Stone Talus that debuted in Breath of the Wild. The Luminous Stone Talus is almost the same as the regular one except for its color, which is darker, its node, which is made of Luminous Stone and makes it glow at night, and their health, which is twice as big as the regular Stone Taluses. It is basically a harder version of the regular one with different rewards.
Rare Stone Talus[]
The Rare Stone Talus is a special type of Stone Talus that debuted in Breath of the Wild. The Rare Stone Talus is almost the same as the regular one but it is formed from sandy stones found in desert areas, which makes it lighter in color. They also have a different node, which is actually a rare Ore Deposit, which can drop all kinds of of minerals even the rarer ones, which cannot be found on the other types of Taluses. They also have three time more health than the regular Stone Taluses, which makes them harder to beat than regular and luminous Stone Taluses. Their node is also often lower than other types of Taluses, which makes it impossible to hit with Arrows if Link is in front of the Talus.
