Source Wild and ferocious bull-like humanoids, taros are a race of fiendish warriors native to the Dark World. As the bandits they so infamously are, taros crave nothing above violence and material wealth. They operate in loose, bestial bands that dwell in fields and mountains. These bandit tribes are infamous for raiding caravans and sacking villages alike. When paid well, however, they can be surprisingly loyal mercenaries. As many Dark World inhabitants are parallel to those of the Light World, taros seem to be the dark counterparts to hylians, moblins, or both. Taros tribes are usually led by one of particularly great stamina and skill, usually referred to as a tough taros. Even more resected than these elite taros are lynels, which taros revere as supernatural beings or even minor deities. Source
