Gorons are a rock-eating species typically found on Death Mountain. They are capable of rolling into boulder-like balls to travel faster, and are extremely durable. They can easily survive contact with lava, and can breath underwater, though they are incapable of swimming. Gorons have also been shown being frozen or trapped under rocks and coming out no worse for wear. However, they are not invincible. All Gorons refer to each other as male, but are seemingly allowed into Gerudo settlements despite this. They are oftn shown mining or tending Bomb Flowers for a living. Despite their somewhat simple appearance and demeanor, Gorons are fairly technologically advanced in comparison to most other species of Hyrule, creating many types of explosives and mining equipment. Additionally, Goron-made weaponry is often very strong.
