'''Bombs''' are recurring enemies and [[summon]]s in the ''[[Final Fantasy (franchise)|Final Fantasy]]'' franchise. They are red fireball-shaped creatures with yellow eyes and a pair of hands, and their face is always snarling, exposing their fang-like teeth. Bombs first appear in ''[[Final Fantasy II]]''. Bombs have [[Self-Destruct]] as their signature ability, which they usually use if their [[health point|HP]] is critically low; the move deals heavy damage, but it defeats the Bomb in the process. In several of their appearances, Bombs can also use [[fire]]-based abilities.
'''Bombs''' are recurring enemies and [[summon]]s in the ''[[Final Fantasy (franchise)|Final Fantasy]]'' franchise. They are red fireball-shaped creatures with yellow eyes and a pair of hands. Bombs first appear in ''[[Final Fantasy II]]''. Bombs use fire-based attacks, although their signature ability is [[Self-Destruct]], in which they explode, dealing damage to characters. They usually resort to using this move if they are low on [[HP]].


There are several variations of Bombs, such as [[Grenade]]s, [[Balloon]]s, and even an ice variant, [[Ice Bomb]]s. Notable members include [[King Bomb]]s and [[Mom Bomb]]s.

==History==
==History==
===''Final Fantasy'' series===
====''Final Fantasy IV''====
[[File:Bomb FF4 SNES sprite.png|left]]
In ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', Bomb appear as both an enemy and [[summon]]. As enemies, Bombs are only encountered at [[Mt. Hobs]]. A Bomb Summon spell is one of the few summons that are dropped by enemies, specifically [[Balloon]]s and [[Dark Grenade]]s. It costs 10 [[magic point|MP]] for [[Rydia]] to summon a Bomb, which then uses Self-Destruct on an enemy.
The game introduces two variants, Mom Bomb and [[Dark Grenade]]. During the Mom Bomb boss fight, if it explodes, it breaks into three Bombs and three Dark Grenades.
====''Final Fantasy V''====
In ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', Bombs are rare enemies which are encountered at the area surrounding [[Jachol]] and in the sunken [[Walse Tower]] of the [[Merged World]]. In the game, Bombs were given a critical attack, [[Body Slam]]. Bombs retain their signature Self-Destruct ability, which is also a [[Blue Magic]] spell that certain [[class|job]]s can learn.
One of their variants, Grenades, also return as enemies, and another variant, [[Purobolos]], make a reappearance as a boss.
====''Final Fantasy VI''====
In ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', Bombs are encountered on the [[Phantom Train]] and in the [[Bomb forest]]. Besides Self-Destruct, Bombs also have [[Blaze]] for an ability. [[Strago]] can learn the [[Lore]] ability Self-Destruct from them, and [[Relm]] can use [[Sketch]] to replicate either of a Bomb's attacks in battle: Self-Destruct or Blaze.
====''Final Fantasy VII''====
In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Bombs are encountered at [[Mt. Corel]]. They can use three attacks, [[Ram]], [[Bomb Blast]], and [[Fireball]]. Since this game, Bombs no longer appear in large groups, and rarely do three appear in the same battle. However, Bombs have a much higher HP than in other games. If a Bomb is attacked three times, they perform Self-Destruct, randomly selecting a target to inflict heavy damage upon.
===''Chocobo'' series===
====''Chocobo Racing''====
In ''[[Chocobo Racing]]'', Bombs are used as a countdown before each race. Once all three are activated, the race begins.
====''Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales''====
In ''[[Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales]]'', [[Chocobo (character)|Chocobo]] can collect six different [[pop-up card]]s of Bombs; each card shows three of them.
Bombs appear in a few [[microgame]]s:
*In [[Blazing Blocks]], the objective is to tap rocks and line up three or more Bombs to blow up the crystals.
*In [[Bomberwall]], which is a ''{{wp|Minesweeper}}''-like microgame, the goal is to tap the blocks indicated by the arrows. Tapping an incorrect block reveals a Bomb, which then explodes. The game then reveals which blocks were empty and which had Bombs.
*In [[Malboro Masher]], one of the ways to lose is by tapping a Bomb.
===''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles'' series===
====''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles''====
In ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]'', Bombs are encountered as enemies in a few areas. They first appear in [[Mine of Cathuriges]], and there are a couple of smaller ones who appear in the scenery, where they are used as makeshift lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

====''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''====
In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', Bombs appear in the [[mariowiki:Bowser's Castle (Mario Hoops 3-on-3)|Bowser's Castle]] and [[mariowiki:Rainbow Road (Dribble Race course)|Rainbow Road]] courts, where they jump out of the lava along with several [[mariowiki:Lava Bubble|Lava Bubble]]s. The Bomb then floats over the court, and the player can touch the Bomb with the Stylus to make it explode. All other characters affected by the explosion get burnt and start running around. If a character touches a Bomb, they get knocked back and lose the ball.
