The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an enemy appearing in {{CC}}. Beach Bums have oval-shaped bodies which are of a blueish hue, and have feelers with tiny eyes attached to their tips, with two rather large fins in place of arms. They also appear to be in a constant gloomy mood, as can be seen from their facial expressions. Found in [[Cape Howl]] and [[Lizard Rock]] ([[Home World]]), Beach Bums appear to swim as they walk into the player. Beach Bums are one of the first enemies encountered in the game and are extremely weak as opponents.  
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an enemy appearing in {{CC}}. Found in [[Cape Howl]] and [[Lizard Rock]] ([[Home World]]), BeachBum appears to swim as it walks into you. This behavior is useless, other than in water. BeachBum is one of the first enemies encountered in the game and is extremely weak as an opponent.


==Battle and Strategy==
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 prequel, {{CT}}. Unlike the BeamBums, however, the Nu speaks coherently sentences, is trusted enough to run shops in [[Kajar]] and [[Last Village]], and serves as the guardian of the [[Forest Ruins|North Palace Ruins]].
During battle, Beach Bums generally attack with normal physical blows, throwing in the occasional [[AquaBall]], an excessively over-powered [[Element]] for an enemy encountered early on in the game. BeachBums prefer to travel in pairs or completely alone, but they sometimes pair up with [[Opah Fish]] or [[SandSquirt]]. They may utilize their special techs, namely, [[MakeWaves]] and [[Surf'sUp]], occasionally when provoked, with the latter of said techs capable of bringing about the [[Flu]] status effect.

==Nu==
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 BeachBums, 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.


==Name Origin==
==Name Origin==
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.
