Real Bombchu


 * ''This article refers to the Bombchu enemy. For the item, see Bombchu.

Real Bombchu are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series, first introduced in.

Majora's Mask
In, Real Bombchu are a living version of the Bombchu Bombs introduced in. In-game, they are probably the source of inspiration for the mechanical Bombchu. These critters run around with Bombs hanging from their tails, waiting to blow themselves up in order to damage their enemy. If they sight Link, they will run after him and explode either upon contact or after a short while. An Arrow from the Bow will make the Real Bombchus explode; however, if Link uses the Hookshot, the Real Bombchu will just be reeled in towards him and explode in his face. In addition, if Link raises his shield when facing a Real Bombchu, it will bounce off, fall backwards, and explode. Like most enemies, Real Bombchu cannot hurt Link if he is on Epona. They are susceptible to the Stone Mask, and thus wearing it will cause them to completely ignore Link.

The Wind Waker
In, Real Bombchus are simply Rats holding Bombs. Their main habitat is the Forsaken Fortress, but can also be found in other places like the Dragon Roost Cavern. The Real Bombchu can be seen emerging from rat holes, which they will leave to throw a Bomb at Link and then quickly retreat to get another Bomb.

Four Swords Adventures
In, Real Bombchu appear in the Temple of Ice stage. They swarm the room exploding upon impact with any of the Links. They spawn from holes in the ground and will only stop appearing until the holes are closed upon activating a switch.
