Abilities

Grab

If it gets too close to the player, mainly when the player isn't in Goron form, Mal'Rocher can grab you and it will be difficult to escape his grasp. If he holds the player for too long, he will start biting, which causes a major amount of damage and or instant death.

Punch/Slap

In an attempt to grab you, Mal'Rocher will punch or slap the player/ally randomly.

Dig

This ability is used only when Mal'Rocher appeared before the player, mainly in out of boss room events whereas the player and or allies must flee because they are unable to fight him yet.

Haze

A times his very presence and or where he walks causes some ooze or haze to form on the ground, causing the player to walk slowly, and eventually become jinxed if remaining in it for too long.

Phases

Mal'Rocher will attack Link and friends within the abandon Goron Ruins, and confronting him in combat is impossible, doing so will result in instant death. The player must regain their Goron Ability via Goron Trial, this form is also needed to face Mal'Rocher in the Trap Room, whereas there is no escape at all.
