Spume

Spumes are enemies appearing in Skyward Sword.

Characteristics
Spume are toad-like enemies that are similar in appearance and behavior to the Toadpoli. If Link comes too close to them, they will dive into whatever they're swimming in. Once he is far away, they will reveal themselves and shoot projectiles at Link. These projectiles can be reflected back at the Spumes with a Shield Bash using an appropriate shield. The spumes do not completely hide themselves, leaving them open to attacks from arrows and a bomb-carrying Beetle.

Varieties
There are several kinds of Spume including the Magma, Electro, and Cursed Spume. Although they are never officially named, Aqua Spumes can be found in Lanayru Sand Sea.

Magma Spume
Magma Spumes can be found inside the Earth Temple. They swim through the magma and spit fireballs which can be sliced with the Goddess Sword, rendering them ineffective. Their fireballs can be reflected with a Shield Bash, as long as Link is not using the Wooden Shield or any of its upgrades. The wood will burn away if it touches the magma, leaving Link vulnerable. If a Magma Spume manages to hit Link with a fireball, Link will catch on fire and will need to do a Roll or a Spin Attack to put out the flames. Magma Spumes can be crushed if Link rolls over them with the large stone spheres located inside the temple.

Electro Spume
Electro Spumes appear in the Lanayru Desert region. They are very similar to the Magma Spumes but they are yellow in color. They live in the quicksand regions of Lanayru Desert and spit balls of electricity instead of fire. If Link touches these projectiles with his sword, he will get shocked and receive damage. They can be defeated by reflecting their electricity balls with a Shield Bash, as long as Link does not use the Iron Shield or its upgrades.

Cursed Spume
Cursed Spumes appear in the Fire Sanctuary. These spit out balls of dark energy that will curse Link. He will not be able to draw his sword or use his items until the curse fades away. The Spume's projectiles can only be reflected with the Sacred Shield and its upgrades along with the Hylian Shield.

Aqua Spume
can be found swimming in the Lanayru Sand Sea in the past. They are greenish-blue in color and will try to shoot water at Skipper's boat. They can be defeated with a single cannon shot.
