Kid Icarus/Enemies

Common enemies
The following enemies can be found through all of Angel Land, and are not isolated to one particular world.

Fortress boss: Twinbellows
The boss of the first fortress is the two-headed beast known as Twinbellows. He happens to be remarkably similar to the three headed dog Cerberus, who guards the entrance to Hades in Greek mythology. Twinbellows, instead, guards the first sacred treasure chest. Both heads are capable of breathing fire, while his body is able to leap high into the air. He tends to leap off the ground when he is struck by an arrow, and you can use this to your advantage. If you strike him while he is standing still, he will hop into the air, and come back down in the same location. If you hit him quickly enough, he will repeat this behavior, and you can essentially keep Twinbellows in one place while you finish him off.

Fortress boss: Hewdraw
The boss of the second fortress is the serpentine beast known as Hewdraw. Hewdraw calls the lava in his room home, but it's clear very dangerous for Pit to set foot in it. Instead, he must attempt to maintain his footing on the platforms that float above the lava. Meanwhile, Hewdraw reacts to the presence of an intruder in his room by leaping out of the water and crashing back down. He repeats this motion constantly, trying to crash into Pit, and possibly knock him off a ledge and into the lava. Pit must defeat him in order to reclaim the second sacred treasure chest. Only shots to his head can cause him any damage. Centurions can be helpful in your battle against this giant snake, so rescue as many as you can.
