Cukeman is an enemy in the Zelda Series frequently featured in 2D titles.
'''Cukemen''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', pg. 172}}


===A Link to the Past===
==''A Link to the Past''==
Cukemen are the mysterious transfigured form of a [[Buzz Blob]]. Sprinkling magic powder on a buzzblob will make it turn into a cukeman. The cukeman will still hurt you if you bump into it, so don't let your guard down. Unlike any other enemy in the game, you can communicate with a cukeman. If you speak with one, it will say random phrases to you such as: "Tra la la, look for Sahasrahla. ... ... ..." and "Oh yah, you found Sahasrahla! ... ... ... Good job la la!"  
[[File:Cukeman-Sprite-1.png|30px|left]]Cukemen are the mysterious transfigured form of a [[Buzz Blob]]. Sprinkling [[Magic Powder]] on a buzz blob will make it turn into a Cukeman. The Cukeman will still hurt [[Link]] if he bumps into it, so he must not let his guard down. Any long-range weapons, such as [[Hookshot]] or the [[Bow]] are quite effective to defeat them. Unlike any other enemy in the game, Link can communicate with a Cukeman.{{Ref|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150722213853/http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/c.jsp The Great Hyrule Encyclopedia]|Cukemen are directly related to [[Buzz Blob]]s. Each can deliver a numbing bolt of electricity to a foe, but Cukemen are much more talkative.}} If Link speaks with one, it will say random phrases such as:
* "Tra la la, look for [[Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past)|Sahasrahla]]. ... ... ..."
* "Oh yah, you found Sahasrahla! ... ... ... Good job la la!"


They are also an answer for riddle ten ("The spectacled wanderer... what is it?" ) in the Riddle Quest in the Game Boy Advance port of A Link to the Past.  
If a Cukeman is frozen with the [[Ice Rod]] or [[Ether Medallion]], then smashed with the [[Magic Hammer]], it will turn back into a Buzz Blob again instead of shattering. It is also an answer for tenth riddle ("The spectacled wanderer... what is it?" ) in the [[Riddle Quest]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''A Link to the Past''.


===Link's Awakening===
==''Link's Awakening''==
Like in A Link to the Past, sprinkling magic powder on a buzzblob will make it turn into a cukeman. The cukeman will still damage Link if he comes in direct contact with them. If you speak with one, it will say random phrases to you such as: "Hey mon!", "You know me, I like short names the best...", "It can display millions of polygons!", and "I definitely need it, as soon as possible!"

In the German version of ''Link's Awakening'', Cukeman will say some weird phrases that is censored in the US version of the game such as:{{Ref|[https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic{{=}}11552.0 romhacking.net]}}

Anywhere is fine.", "I wish I could go to a tropical southern island.", "I want a nice tropical vacation.", "3 large, 2 regular.", "Huh? Did I say that?", and "Really? I mean, I knew that!"
