 * Not to be confused with Buzz Blobs.

Chuchus, spelled as ChuChus in, and , and known simply as Chus in , are recurring enemies in. They are gelatinous creatures of living slime or jelly, often depicted with facial features.

Chuchus come in many different varieties and colors, with some having different attacks and behaviors depending on their color. Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and Purple Chuchus are among some of the most common types of Chuchus in the series. Starting in The Wind Waker, some Chuchus, such as the Blue and Yellow kind, are capable of electrifying their body as a defense mechanism. This makes them similar to the Buzz Blob, another slime-like enemy with a similar shape that also electrifies itself.

In a couple games, Chuchus also leave behind Chu Jelly when defeated. Chu Jelly is valued as an ingredient that can make special Potions that can restore health or other vitals, depending on its color. In The Wind Waker, Chu Jelly is an ingredient that cannot be used on its own, but in Twilight Princess, a Bottle can be used to scoop up the remains of a defeated Chu to collect drinkable Chu Jelly.

Majora's Mask
In, Chuchus appear as bottom-heavy blobs of transparent jelly with large, grinning mouths full of crooked teeth and round eyes on stalks. They move around by slowly oozing along the ground, but once they see Link, they attack by hopping towards him in an attempt to knock him down. However, they can be easily defeated with one or two hits with the Sword. Chuchus are characterized as appearing either green, red, yellow or blue. Depending on their color, they contain various items inside their bodies which are dropped as they are defeated. Chuchus will shortly respawn after being destroyed, making fighting them a quick means of restocking on supplies in little time.

Green Chuchus and Red Chuchus are commonplace to Termina Field, and carry Magic Jars and Hearts in their bodies, respectively. Yellow Chuchus contain Arrows, and usually appear near puzzles or enemies that require the Bow. Blue Chuchus are the rarest, and only appear in the Great Bay Temple. They hold no items inside them; instead they can be frozen and used as a stepping stone by freezing them with the Ice Arrows, allowing Link to reach higher places. Tatl explains this by saying they are "just blob(s) of water." In, the Blue Chuchus sparkle, further indicating that they can be frozen.

The Wind Waker
In, ChuChus take on a much different appearance that would also be crossed over to future games; they are top-heavy blobs of jelly with bulbous yellow-green eyes that move by crawling or hopping on their pseudopod-like feet at their base. When they appear, they make a distinctive chattering sound. If left alone, ChuChus melt into a tiny, slow-moving puddle, but immediately start hopping after Link when he approaches. Some ChuChus will ambush Link by dropping from above. ChuChus in The Wind Waker come in various unique colors, each with their own traits and sometimes unique Chu Jelly. They come in red, green, blue, yellow and a newer type called a Dark ChuChu, which is dark purple in color. ChuChus live in many places across the Great Sea, including dungeons and most notably, Pawprint Isle, which is home to many ChuChus. Several ChuChus drop Chu Jelly when defeated, which can also be stolen from them with the Grappling Hook. Chu Jelly can be given to Doc Bandam on Windfall Island to craft new Potions as well as make free servings in exchange.

Red ChuChu
Red ChuChus are among the first and most common encountered, and can be found as early as Pawprint Isle and Dragon Roost Cavern, as well as Forest Haven, the Earth Temple and Wind Temple. They are the lowest form of ChuChu that possess no unique traits, and are thus the easiest to slay. Their attack deals little damage, although they can be tricky in groups (though rarely forming any more than three at a time). Simple as they are, they are valued as they can be farmed for Red Chu Jelly, which can make health-replenishing Red Potions.

Green ChuChu
Green ChuChus are the second most common, and can be found in Pawprint Isle, Forest Haven, the Forbidden Woods, and the Earth and Wind Temples. They behave like and are often found with their lower relative, the Red ChuChu. They possess the ability to shrink into a puddle to evade Link's attacks. When defeated, they drop Green Chu Jelly. Link can give Doc Bandam 15 Green Chu Jellies to craft Green Potions, making them available for purchase.

Blue ChuChu
Blue ChuChus are some of the most rarest ChuChus in The Wind Waker, with only 23 Blue ChuChus appearing in total, found scattered on various islands in the Great Sea. Blue ChuChus are highly electrified, which will shock Link if he attempts to attack one. As they constantly remain electrified, they must first be stunned before being attacked, such as with the Deku Leaf or the Boomerang. Alternately, they can be attacked with Bombs or Arrows. They drop the most valuable and rarest kind of Jelly: Blue Chu Jelly. If Link gives 15 Blue Chu Jellies to Doc Bandam, Blue Potions will be crafted and become avaliable for purchase. Blue ChuChus, however, will only ever drop their Jelly Spoils once.

Yellow ChuChu
Yellow ChuChus are another type that possess the ability to electricfy themselves, but unlike Blue ChuChus, they do not keep their bodies electrified at all times. They are even rarer than Blue ChuChus, as they only appear in Pawprint Isle and in the Tower of the Gods. They can be stunned to make defeating them easier, or attacked with Bombs or Arrows. They do not drop any Chu Jelly whatsoever.

Dark ChuChu
Dark ChuChus are a unique type distinguished by their dark, purple coloration. They inhabit dark areas away from light, namely the Earth Temple and Ganon's Tower. Unlike other ChuChus, they cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons; attempting to do so results in the creature simply breaking up and regenerating. Instead they are highly weak to light - if they come into direct light, they will momentarily turn to stone. One can be lured into a light source or else have light hit it. Picking up and throwing a Dark ChuChu will shatter the stone and defeat it, or alternately it can be smashed with the Skull Hammer. Dark ChuChus turned to stone can be used as temporary weights in certain puzzles. For this reason, they often respawn after being defeated. They do not last long in stone form, and will eventually liquidize. They do not leave behind any Chu Jelly.

The Minish Cap
In, Chuchus have an identical appearance and behavior to those in The Wind Waker. They also come in various colors and varieties, each with different traits and characteristics. Most Chuchus emerge from the ground as tiny puddles, then pop up to leap at Link to attack. They are among some of the most common and weakest enemies, and can be found all over Hyrule.

Green and Red Chuchus are the most common, being especially common to the Minish Woods and Mt. Crenel, respectively. They are the most basic varieties, and attack simply by jumping. Green Chuchus tend to be alone, while Red Chuchus are often found in small groups. Blue Chuchus, like those in The Wind Waker, are constantly electrified. They can be attacked with Bombs or Arrows, or alternately stunned with other items, such as the Boomerang. They are much rarer and not native to any particular region.

Spiny Chuchus are purple Chuchus that possess a unique trait: they shoot out thorns from their body when Link is near. These spikes protect them from an assortment of attacks, and will remain in this state until Link backs away, when the Chuchu will follow after him. To defeat them, Link must either be quick to attack or stun them first. A Bomb is powerful enough to penetrate their defenses. Arrows can also be shot at them from afar. They appear at Mt. Crenel, and also act as the mini-bosses of the Cave of Flames.

Red Chuchus also come in an additional variant called a Rock Chuchu, which wears a rock helmet over its face. They appear in Veil Falls. These Chuchus do not jump, and their mask protects them from most attacks. Their helmets can be destroyed by throwing a stone at them, turning them into regular Red Chuchus. A Bomb can also be used to defeat them instantly.

Link also encounters two giant Chuchus as bosses, known as Big Chuchus. These enemies are normal Chuchus, but appear much larger since Link is Minish sized. A Big Green Chuchu appears as the boss of Deepwood Shrine, and a Big Blue Chuchu appears as the mini-boss of the Temple of Droplets.

Twilight Princess
In, Chuchus are simply known as Chus, and are little more than large, amoeba-like blobs of opaque jelly. They slither and powerfully leap to move and attack. Like previous incarnations, Chus come in various colors, including Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, and a very rare variant called a Rare Chu. While little else sets between them, Chus have the ability to split and merge. A large Chu will split into two smaller Chus when attacked, similarly to a Zol dividing into Gels, and will keep splitting until they are too small to do so. When two Chus of different colors collide, they will merge together and form a single, larger Chu. The new Chu will retain the color of the more common one (from least to most common: Rare, Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple). Chus appear in several places, including the entranceway of the Lakebed Temple, Snowpeak Ruins, and in hidden Caves.

When Chus are defeated, they dissolve into a puddle which can then be scooped up into a Bottle to collect Chu Jelly. Unlike Chu Jelly of The Wind Waker, Chu Jelly can be used immediately. They have various different effects depending on the color of the Jelly.

Rare Chus are a significantly rare variety that are pearl-colored and sparkle. They appear anywhere where Chus are, but the chances of finding one are incredibly slim. The Cave of Ordeals and three hidden Caves, one under a tree at Snowpeak and another in the Gerudo Desert, are the only certain places to find them. A Rare Chu can also be found within a cave beneath Ordon Ranch, accessed via a dig spot within the barn. Rare Chus are highly valuable as they leave behind Rare Chu Jelly, which has the same effect as Great Fairy's Tears. However, not only are they hard to find, but they are also the first to be targeted by Purple Chus to merge. If a Rare Chu and any other Chu merge, the Chu will become the other color, canceling out the Rare Chu. Additionally, if Link already has Rare Chu Jelly, any Rare Chus set to appear will be replaced with Yellow Chus.
