'''Bomblings''' are small, insectoid explosive creatures that grow out of the ground within the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]] in {{TP}}.
'''Bomblings''' are enemies and items in {{TP}}.


==Location==
==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
First appearing as unkept (yet usable) explosives, Bomblings can later be purchased and stored as a normal [[Bomb]].
Bomblings appear as enemies in the [[Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)|Forest Temple]]. They will crouch when approached and, if not picked up or attacked, will start attacking [[Link]]. If startled, they will self-destruct after a short amount of time.


Eventually, in [[Kakariko Village]], [[Barnes]], the bomb salesman, receives stock of these specialty bombs that can be purchased and used outside of the Forest Temple area. Link will receive a letter after he completes the [[Lakebed Temple]], indicating that the owner has stocked up on Bomblings. According to [[Chudley]], Bomblings are popular as pets among the women of [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]].<ref>{{cite|Pocket Bombling: This dangerous pet is popular with the ladies in town.|Chudley's Castle Town Store|TP}}</ref>
Bomblings are used during the Forest Temple as [[Bomb]] substitutes. They can be used to blow up [[rock]]s and defeat [[Deku Like]]s. They are mostly used along with the [[Gale Boomerang]], which can move them to faraway areas. The Temple's boss, [[Diababa]], must be also defeated with the aid of Bomblings.


==Uses==
According to [[Chudley]], Bomblings are popular as pets among the women of the [[Castle Town]].<ref>{{Cite|Pocket Bombling<br>This dangerous pet is popular with the ladies in town.|Chudley|TP}}</ref>
The item variety of this creature is very similar to the [[Bombchu]], only that they cannot go up walls. Link will immediately become acquainted with this variety of bomb, as he must use them to complete the Forest Temple. The Bombling will crouch when approached and, if not picked up or attacked, will start a weak string of attacks upon [[Link]] that, over time, will cause accumulating damage.


These insects are invaluable within the Forest Temple because of their ability to become temporary bombs when startled. However, if these bomb insects are not picked up or destroyed within their "countdown" time span, they will self-destruct. On several occasions, Link will find the appearance of these bomb bugs very useful, as in some areas, blowing up a rock in the way is the only way to proceed to a new section of the dungeon.
==Location and Uses==

After completing the [[Lakebed Temple]], Link will receive a [[letter]] from [[Barnes]] indicating that he has stocked up on Bomblings.


The temple boss, [[Diababa]], can only be successfully destroyed with the aid of these bomb bugs, along with the [[Gale Boomerang]] and a [[Ook|familiar monkey]].
When used, Bomblings will run in a straight line until they have contact with another object, at which point they will explode. If they are near an enemy, they will follow it. 10 Bomblings can be held in each [[Bomb Bag]] until Link receives an upgrade, which allows him to hold 20 Bomblings per bag. They can also be used along the [[Bow]] to create [[Bomb Arrow]]s.

These bombs cannot be used underwater.
Unlike standard [[Bomb]]s and [[Water Bomb]]s, Bomblings are entirely optional.  


Unlike standard Bombs and Water Bombs, Bomblings are entirely optional as an item, as opposed to their use in the Forest Temple. At no point in the game is Link required to carry them in order to proceed, and there is no task in the game, mandatory or not, that can only be accomplished with Bomblings, again excluding their non-item appearance in the Forest Temple. This is in part because of the presence of [[Bomb Arrow]]s, which can go anywhere Bomblings can and many places they cannot.
