 * 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 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 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 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 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 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.
