[[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!"


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. Any range weapons, such as [[Ember Seeds]], [[Hookshot]], or the [[Bow]], are quite effective to kill them. 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!"
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''.
