Cukeman
Cukeman is an enemy in the Zelda Series frequently featured in 2D titles.
Appearances
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!"
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. 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.
Link's Awakening
Like in A Link to the Past, sprinkling Magic Powder on a Buzz blob 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!"
Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages
Sprinkle a Mystery Seed on the [[Buzz Blob] to turn it into a cukeman. If you speak with one, it will say random phrases to you such as: "Feel my cold, steely gaze!!!", "I'm so sleepy.", "I want to ride a plane. 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!"
