The Big Green Chuchu is the boss of the Deepwood Shrine, the first dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. It serves as the guardian of the Earth Element. At first glance, it may look like the ChuChu is a giant among its race; however, since Link is Minish-sized while fighting it, it is only a regular ChuChu.

[edit] Strategy

Artwork of Link's battle against the Big Green ChuChu

To defeat this enemy, Link must use the Gust Jar to suck away the pile of goo that serves as both the Big Green ChuChu's base and feet. Once enough of its "feet" have been sucked away, it will lose its balance and sway back and forth for a while eventually collapsing under the weight of its own head, leaving it vulnerable to Link's sword for a limited period of time. When the ChuChu is dazed, Link can be damaged if he is situated beneath its head when it topples. After it gets up, it will summon smaller ChuChus to damage Link. After repetition of this process, the Big Green ChuChu will be defeated.
