The blue-tinged skin, the floppy arms, the rotund body, and the lackadaisical frown all bear a striking resemble to [[Nu]]s, [[Fiend]]s encountered in the game's prequel, {{CT}}. Unlike the BeamBums, however, the Nus speak in coherent sentences, are trusted enough to run shops in [[Kajar]] and [[Last Village]], and serve as the guardians of the [[Forest Ruins|North Palace Ruins]]. Interestingly, the items sold by Nus are typically healing items; items stolen from or dropped by BeachBums are exclusively healing items as well.

Additional theories stem from the Beach Bum inhabiting the chamber beneath [[Belthasar]]'s desk in the [[Viper Manor]] library. In ''Chrono Trigger'', the [[Guru of Reason]], Belthasar, built [[Epoch]] and stored it in a futuristic dome. He died several years before [[Crono]] investigates [[Keeper's Dome]] to retrieve the Epoch and finds a robotic Nu guarding the vessel. After Crono and his friends alter the timeline, Belthasar ends up in [[Termina]]. In a secret chamber beneath the sage's desk resides a Beach Bum guarding the remains of what is clearly the Epoch, assisting the idea that BeachBums and Nus are variations of the same creature.

Beach Bum are found near the craggy ponds north of [[Opassa Beach]] and sport somewhat lazy (or ''bum-like'') body language and features. The name probably combines these two key features in the enemy.  
Beach Bum are found near the craggy ponds north of [[Opassa Beach]] and sport somewhat lazy (or ''bum-like'') body language and features. The name probably combines these two key features in the enemy. Their Japanese name, Beach Boy, simply appears to reference the fact that all Beach Bums are male.
