That's a Nejiron. Don't get too close to it. Sniff...Sniff... It smells like gun powder!

Damage

How hard each weapon hits the Nejiron, and how many hits it takes to defeat it. A jump attack with a sword or a Deku Stick hits twice as hard.

Drops

When the Nejiron is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.

DropChance
Bomb (5)56.25%
Nothing43.75%

Arrows need the Hero's Bow and bombs need a Bomb Bag; magic needs the magic meter. Without them that slot drops nothing. A Recovery Heart at full health becomes a Green Rupee.

Where to find it

Official guide

When it senses you, it comes out of the ground and attacks, but it does not chase you. It is said to smell strongly of gunpowder.

ゼルダの伝説 ムジュラの仮面のすべて (エンターブレイン, 2000), p. 190: Translated by 101Leafy

They look like Gorons in the curl position, but they are much more nasty. Watch out for their explosive behavior or use the Stone Mask to avoid their notice.
