Moblin
A Moblin is a Bokoblin with twice the reach. Stand in front of the spear and you lose the trade. Circle to the side, or shoot the head before the swing starts.
The spear, not the health bar
Red Moblins already poke from well outside a one-handed sword. The thrust comes in a straight line. Sidestep, then hit the legs or the head while the spear is still extended. A backflip only helps if you were already in the thrust's path.
They share camps with Bokoblins, so the bomb barrel is still the opener. After the blast, the Moblin stands up slower than the small ones. That is your window to take the spear off the rack or finish the headshot.
What to take home
Moblin horns and fangs are elixir parts, and the guts raise attack. The spear or club they were holding is often a better pickup than whatever you broke on them. Black and silver Moblins guard the stronger racks.
Do not chase one into the campfire. The swing knocks you into the flame and you eat both the hit and the burn. Pull it toward open ground, or shoot from a roof it cannot climb in one step. A mounted spear charge also stops the thrust cleanly, and the horse takes the hit instead of your shield.
