Its flesh and pointed ears suggest it may be distantly related to hylians or gerudo, but unlike these humanoids a hinox is a bestial savage. It crushes all problems with brute force. The pinnacle of this race's technology is the bomb, which is used only to further the rampant and visceral destruction they crave. Like most denizens of the Dark World, this creature is inherently cruel and aggressive. However, even a wild hinox—the Light World equivalent of this creature—is just as violent. Source

Variant: Greatclub

Although a typical hinox prefers to rip apart its victims with its bare hands, a clever or desperate one may make use of something resembling a functional weapon. This variant gains the following action:

Greatclub. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 25 (4d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage.

This variant has a Challenge Rating of 7 (2,900 XP).

Variant: Snow Hinox

Touched by the icy evocation magic of a wizzrobe, the rare snow hinox lives in the frigid mountains of the Dark World. It resists cold damage. This variant's Superbomb action is replaced with the following action:

Snowball. Ranged Spell Attack: +10 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage plus 13 (3d8) cold damage. If the target is a creature and it doesn't resist this cold damage, it must succeed on a DC 9 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the start of the hinox's next turn.

This variant has a Challenge Rating of 8 (3,900 XP).
