Black Moblins are stronger than Red Moblins, possessing more health and attack power, along with having more powerful spears that they can throw at Cadence, Link, Yves, and Zelda. They move to the beat of the music and share the same beat pattern as the other Moblins, moving on every other beat, having to crouch for one beat before hopping to an adjacent tile on the second beat. When they're close enough, they will throw a spear at the heroes, stopping on one beat to aim, throwing it on the second, and letting it land on the third beat. Afterwards, they will try to retrieve their weapon until it is either destroyed or picked up by another Moblin or even the hero if they are using the Power Glove. Once they lose their spear, they will try to look for another one or if there are none, try to attack the heroes head on. Their spears are the second-strongest, dealing 3 Hearts of damage to any enemy that get hit by them, being second to only the Purple Moblin spear in terms of power. During the events of Symphony of the Mask, Black Skull Moblins appear but otherwise act the same as in the main game.

Tears of the Kingdom
Black Moblins reappear in Tears of the Kingdom, acting similarly to how they did in Breath of the Wild. They have new Black Moblin Horns, which they slam into the ground while attacking. It is possible to encounter Gloom-Wreathed variants of Black Moblins.
Other Appearances
Cadence of Hyrule
Age of Calamity
Black Moblins reappear as Powerful Foes in Age of Calamity, first appearing in the Scenario "The Road Home, Besieged". During certain Challenges added in the Pulse of the Ancients Downloadable Content pack, some carry containers holding Bomb Barrels on their backs. A variant utilizing Sky Octoroks appears during the Scenario "EX Liberate the Ancient Lab". Two Black Moblins are also absorbed by Harbinger Ganon to recover its health after taking a beating from Terrako.
Defeated Black Moblins most often drop Moblin Fangs and Horns, but may also rarely drop Moblin Guts. Slaying one awards a Moblin Trophy at the end of a Battle. A Treasure Chest containing a Weapon may also appear.
Age of Imprisonment
Black Moblins can be encountered as Powerful Enemies.
