Buzz Blob

Buzz Blobs are blob-like creatures with two round feet. They appear as enemies in The Legend of Zelda series, and their debut is in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In the games, Buzz Blobs waddle around slowly. Link must avoid contact with a Buzz Blob, even with his sword, otherwise the Buzz Blob electrocutes him. Chuchus are blob enemies which, in some games, have a similar shape to Buzz Blobs and occasionally have electric powers. In some games, a Buzz Blob transforms into a Cukeman if Link sprinkles Magic Powder on it.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Buzz Blobs appear somewhat uncommonly across Hyrule, but are mostly concentrated around the Witch's Hut, likely as a subtle way to get players to try the Magic Powder item on them.. They move in a slow, somewhat random fashion, though at times they do seem to deliberately get in Link's way. If hit with the sword, Link is electrocuted, though they can be safely attacked if stunned first. If Link uses some of the Magic Powder obtained from the Witch on them, they become Cukemen.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Buzz Blobs reappear in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The first one is seen outside the Witch's Hut, similar to their concentration in the respective location in the previous game. In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX and the Nintendo Switch remake, the Giant Buzz Blob is an optional miniboss in the Color Dungeon.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages
In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, Buzz Blobs can no longer be attacked while stunned, and are instead changed into Cukeman through Mystery Seeds. In the former game, they appear prominently in the Natzu region, while in the later, they appear mainly in the Nuun region; both of these regions additionally change depending on which Strange Flute Link has received. Also in the former game, the Manhandla that appears seems to be a giant Buzz Blob, having a similar appearance and electrical abilities.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
In The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, Buzz Blobs are found in Death Mountain Foothills and the Lost Woods. Due to there being no relevant item to, they no longer can be turned into Cukemen.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
In The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Buzz Blobs are yellow and visibly and audibly spark electricity as they walk to distinguish them from the new Blob enemy, which is essentially a non-electric (and as such, defenseless) version of the enemy. They still appear around the Witch's Hut, despite not having an item to change them. Additionally, they and Blobs appear in large numbers in the group of trees just north of Link's house. Both Blobs and Buzz Blobs walk slowly in Link's direction in this game.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
In The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, Blobs and Buzz Blobs both appear as they do in A Link Between Worlds, appearing in the Woodlands, with Buzz Blobs additionally appearing in the Riverside. The second level of the Woodlands is themed after them, being called Buzz Blob Cave. The midboss for the Woodlands area (encountered in the aforementioned level) is a giant Buzz Blob with a crown called the Electric Blob King, while the midboss for the Riverside area (encountered in the Abyss of Agony) is a pink, feminine version called the Electric Blob Queen. Dark, curse-bearing Buzz Blobs additionally appear in the Den of Trials.
