Bombite

The Bombite is a mechanized bomb with limited sentience found in the bowels of dungeons in Link's Awakening. They prowl around the room according to their programming, seeking out any would-be heros within their domain. Although they look exactly the same, there are two different models of the Bombite with different attack patterns. The first model will simply bounce away when struck with something such as a sword, accelerating in speed and moving in unpredictible patterns until it self-destructs. The second model is much more efficient. It will start down a timer when hit, stalking the intruder until the timer hits 0, in which it will self-destruct. It is best for adventurers to srike this Bombite model away right before it hits 0, making it self destruct away from them.

TRIVIA: The Bombite is the prototype for the later Bob-omb.
