In ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', Moblin Pikemen are the [[Dark World]] equivalent of both [[Sword Guard|Sword Soldier]]s and the charging types of [[Spear Soldier]]s, appearing with four white horns and wearing indigo or red armor. Indigo Moblin Pikemen wield a staff with a rounded tip, and red Moblin Pikemen wield a trident. The indigo Moblin Pikemen are encountered throughout the Dark World, and the stronger red ones are less common but are also encountered in [[Ganon's Tower]]. | In ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', Moblin Pikemen are the [[Dark World]] equivalent of both [[Sword Guard|Sword Soldier]]s and the charging types of [[Spear Soldier]]s, appearing with four white horns and wearing indigo or red armor.

In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], Moblin Pikemen appear twice, where they have black fur and yellow eyes. The first one appears guarding the entrance to the [[Dark Palace|Palace of Darkness]] in Chapter 7, where it eyes the disguised Link suspiciously as he enters. Later in Chapter 8, Link is accosted by another Moblin Pikeman and a [[Hinox]] in the [[Swamp Palace]] while it is dry. Due to a fountain being activated in the Light World at the [[Great Swamp|Watergate Prairie]], the room is quickly filled with water, and the Moblin Pikeman reveals he cannot swim and clings to the Hinox, inadvertently dragging them both under. | In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], Moblin Pikemen appear twice, where they have black fur and yellow eyes.
