Real Bombchu

Real Bombchu (本物のボムチュウ, Honmono no Bomuchuu) are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series, first introduced in Majora's Mask.

Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, Real Bombchu are an organic, living version of the Bombchu bombs introduced in Ocarina of Time (and present in Majora's Mask). In-story, 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. Simply run away from them and they will explode behind you. If you want to do some target practice, shoot them with an arrow from a distance. 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.

The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, Real Bombchus are simply Rats holding Bombs. Their main habitat is the Forsaken Fortress.

Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, again with an appearance similar to the Majora's Mask's Real Bombchu, they seem to prefer colder stages like Frozen Hyrule. The swarms are to be avoided or even stopped by solving the switch puzzles to seal their entrance.
