“	“Emits a cursed mist from its mouth. It wears a gauntlet on its arm, that can be used to block as well as attack. It takes a particular delight in toying with its enemies.”
	— Encyclopedia

     While at a glance this may appear to be a dinolfos, the blue and black tint to its scales give hint to its dark power. These beasts have been tainted by evil magic either by the influence of Ganon or some other malicious force. What little shred of humanity they had has been diminished even further. Compared to their kin, dark dinolfos are even more brutal, and their breath weapon even more deadly. They are found rarely in the same locations as regular dinolfos, and are most abundant where dark magic permeates.
