A Bombling itself is an extremely unusual creature whose spherical main body is roughly the size of a Hylian's head, with four spider-like legs extending out from it. When set or thrown upon the ground, a Bombling will scamper towards the nearest living creature, excluding the one who set it. A scampering Bombling runs at roughly 10mph (or 16 km/h), comparable to Hylian sprinting speed. When the Bombling's carapace impacts the creature, or any solid object, the Bombling will then abruptly explode with force comparable to a standard Bomb. This explosion causes the Bombling itself to vanish, blasted into dust.

The Bombling Supply grants the user an effectively infinite number of Bomblings, stored in a compartment such as a small sack, or a backpack. Strangely, this supply only functions when an individual Bombling is produced. The user cannot simply dump out the would-be contents of the supply, and cannot pull out another Bombling until either the last Bombling has detonated or five seconds have passed.

A sufficiently skilled Botanist is able to craft a Bomb Bag using 2 Bomb Seeds, 2 Compact Seeds, 4 Magic Beans, and 1 Dodongo Hide. A Botanist can also craft various Potions which enhance bombchu, mostly using Bomb Seeds.

Trivia
