“	“That's a Real Bombchu! It runs at you with its pack of explosives, so protect yourself or else!”
	— Tatl, Majora's Mask

As its name implies a "Real Bombchu" is a mammalian rat-like creature that seems to mimic the function of the more renowned bombchu. Much like a mechanical bombchu, this creature can run along walls and even ceilings with ease. It seems to actively seek out any or all creatures nearby, and attacks them by charging forward and abruptly exploding its body with a chemical explosive.
     Real bombchu usually live in small packs, but are exceedingly rare in the wild. They are more often the pets of twisted researchers who created or cloned these creatures through magical means. Indeed, it is unknown if bombchu were inspired by real bombchu, or if real bombchu themselves are the artificial creation.
     Environment: Caves, Hills
