Beach Bum is an enemy appearing in Chrono Cross. 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.
The blue-tinged skin, the floppy arms, the rotund body, and the lackadaisical frown all bear a striking resemble to Nus, Fiends encountered in prequel, Chrono Trigger. 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 North Palace Ruins.
During battle, BeachBums 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.
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.
