Strangely, in A Link to the Past, if a Cukeman is frozen with the Ice Rod or Ether Medallion, then smashed with the Magic Hammer, it will, instead of shattering, turn back into a Buzzblob again. A Cukeman's color depends on the area in which the Buzzblob is found and transformed. Cukemen appear brown next to the Magic Shop, green in the Lost Woods, and grey in other areas. They are also an answer to a clue in the Quest for the Whirlwind Sword Attack in the Game Boy Advance port of A Link to the Past.
