Buzz Blob

Buzz Blobs appear to be quivering piles of a jelly-like substance, very similar to ChuChus or Zol. Despite their seemingly formless constitution, these monsters somehow manage to stand upright and walk with what appear to be feet, but expectedly move at a very slow pace.

The body of a Buzz Blob can be charged with electricity, but this seems to be an ability that requires activation. They are only known to activate this ability when under attack or while direct contact is made with them. If Link strikes a Buzz Blob with his sword, or any melee weapon, it will electrocute him. Depending on the game, it may not take any damage while electrocuting its target. Any indirect weapons, such as Ember Seeds or the Bow, are generally quite effective.

The combination of their "blob" shape and "buzz" electrocution attack is most likely where Buzz Blobs received their apt name.

Cukeman
Sprinkling Magic Powder or a Mystery Seed onto a Buzz Blob will transform it into a creature called a Cukeman (ノモス, Nomosu). If Link chooses to speak with it, the Cukeman gives him confusing advice about the game and various things in it. Cukemen are still electrified and do not change their attack pattern, so they can still be dangerous if Link is not careful.

In most games of the Cukeman's appearance, the talk button is shared with an attack button, so if the player is standing in front of it, it is impossible to attack it - pressing the button will result in talking to it instead. It is not possible to talk to it if it is stunned with the Boomerang.

Strangely, if a Cukeman is frozen with the Ice Rod or Ether Medallion, then smashed with the Magic Hammer, it will, instead of shattering, turn back into a Buzzblob again.

In Link's Awakening, after transforming the Buzz Blob near Syrup the witch's house into a Cukeman and talking to it, instead of giving advice about the game, it instead refers to unidentified computer hardware that can "display millions of polygons" and has a short name. This message appears in the original, non-DX version, released in 1993 - no game console of that time could display millions of polygons (the 16-bit era was reaching its peak then, and neither the Super FX chip nor the Sega Virtual processor could do more than a thousand polygons.)

Since Four Swords Adventures doesn't have magic powder or mystery seeds available to the players, Cukemen cannot be found anywhere in the game, despite the presence of Buzz Blobs.

Confusion with ChuChu
When Buzz Blobs were initially introduced in A Link to the Past, ChuChus had not yet appeared in their upright positions introduced in The Wind Waker, but rather in more spherical blob shapes. For one who plays the series "backwards", it could falsely lead one to assume Buzz Blobs and ChuChus are one and the same due to the similar appearance of Buzz Blobs and "new" ChuChu. This is particularly true with Blue ChuChu, which possess an electric attack similar to Buzz Blobs. Considering the two monsters have never appeared in the same game together, some argue it is remotely possible that the two were intended to be the same monster.

Since high-quality non-sprite images of Buzz Blobs are either comparatively rare or not known to exist, and there is little-to-no direct discussion of Buzz Blobs in-game, occasional confusion and debate about whether or not Buzz Blobs are truly "Blobs" can come to light. Since they are always green, and because Cukemen appear slightly plant-like, some choose to believe Buzz Blobs are actually more plant than "jelly". This conclusion would solve the confusion about how the creatures manage to stand upright and walk, but would contradict with the name Buzz "Blob."
