Chu Worm

Chu Worms are found in, located in the Lakebed Temple as well as the Cave of Ordeals.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
When Link first encounters the Chu Worms, they will jump into their bubbles. Link cannot harm them while they are inside these protective spheres, so the young hero must use either his Clawshot to drag them out from inside it or his Bomb Arrows to destroy the gelatinous shield. Once the Chu Worms are forced out, they will hop desperately away from Link. Link can then attack them with a wide range of weapons, but ideally his sword, eventually killing the creatures. If Link is not quick enough to kill them, they will attempt to jump back into their bubbles.

Trivia

 * Though these creatures are called Chu "Worms", they resemble beetles.
 * Because of their tendency to hide within a gelatinous bubble, they may be related in some way to the Gekko and Mad Jelly, which appear in the Great Bay Temple in.
