Cuccos are a species of chickens and a recurring element found in The Legend of Zelda franchise.
In the Super Smash Bros. series, Cuccos were introduced as new items in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Cuccos appear as enemies in Smash Run. During a fight, once they are spawned on the stage, they will walk around harmlessly until a player attacks one, a stage hazard disrupts it, or one is thrown at another player, regardless if the player is invincible or shields. Once this happens, a flock of Cuccos flies in and attack the player that triggered the flock, similar to their appearances in The Legend of Zelda. Any other player that comes in contact with the flock will also be damaged. If the Cucco was triggered without player involvement, it randomly targets players. Cuccos that attack from a downward motion have a weak meteor smash effect on players.
As an item, Cuccos are designed after their appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, although the Cucco enemies in Smash Run appear in their original sprite form from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. There is a trophy of Cucco in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and another exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version because it is a trophy of Cucco as a Smash Run enemy. Unlike in Smash Run, the corresponding trophy does not depict Cuccos as having a similar sprite to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In British English versions of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the trophies are distinctly named Cucco (Item) and Cucco (Enemy) respectively. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Cucco trophy is exclusive to Trophy Rush mode.
Cuccos return as items in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They are also featured as a spirit.

- |  Why exactly a Cucco flees is anyone's guess. Maybe it knows what will happen when it is attacked and is trying to save you from that boundless rage. Once angered, it will call its flock and attack the last player to hit it. If thrown, whoever it hits will suffer its flock's wrath. These chicken-like birds don't seem to be aware that there's a fight going on, and if they get hit too often, they'll explode with rage! They'll call in a bunch of their mates to relentlessly peck whoever touched them last. Of course, that could be the person they were thrown at - not just the thrower!

Enemy | Now here's a creature that's just poultry in motion. It usually minds its own business, but if you attack it, the chickens will come home to roost—by body-slamming you over and over...and over... A pretty fowl tactic if you ask us. It's almost futile to fight back, and eventually they'll lose interest and stop driving you Cucco. Now here's a creature that's just poultry in motion. It usually minds its own business, but if you attack it, it'll call on all its little bird friends for help - a pretty fowl tactic if you ask us. However, just let them get on with body-slamming you and don't fight back, and eventually they'll lose interest and stop driving you Cucco.
