Kid Icarus: Uprising/Enemies

Besides the major characters mentioned in the plot, Kid Icarus: Uprising has dozens of types of enemies for the player to encounter over its length. Spoilers are to be expected.

Underworld Army

 * Monoeye - These basic enemies shoot projectile shots. These shots aren't particularly fast, but have some homing ability.
 * Wave Angler - Fires wide shots, usually oriented vertically or horizontally.
 * Octos - Shoots rings of ink that can simply be flown through.
 * Keron - These larger frog-like enemies can either hop around or shoot a projectile to deal damage.
 * Gyrazer - This squid-like enemy floats in the air, shooting a long beam from its eye.
 * Shemum - Can poison Pit by biting him. Spawn from large vases, which can only be destroyed using melee attacks.
 * Nettler - Flattens in response to being hit. Is surprisingly resilient in this state.
 * Skuttler - The backbone of the Underworld Army, this enemy type uses melee attacks.
 * Skuttler Cannoneer - Can fire shots from their cannons.
 * Skuttler Mage - These elite Skuttlers attack with Fire magic.
 * Suit of Skuttler - These slow enemies are vulnerable to attacks from behind.
 * Mik - Using their tongues to attack, Miks can attack a from up to a medium range. They can also use plasma projectiles.
 * Ganewmede - Though powerful, Ganewmedes are usually quite docile. However, they will respond to being attacked, making it a good idea to take them out quickly, though at one's leisure. They are defenseless against repeated melee attacks.
 * Crawler - These tank-like enemies attack the player from both a short distance and from a range using several projectiles. Their only weak point is the large ball in its behind.
 * Syren - These flying enemies shoot whirlwinds.
 * Shrip - Shrips are equipped with large blades, and essentially use themselves as large spinning projectiles.
 * Porcuspine - This defensively oriented monster shoots its quills in all directions and then takes some time to regrow them.
 * Belunka - This behemoth stores smaller troops in its mouth, spawning them at regular intervals. Despite its bulk, it is easy to harm, especially when its mouth is open.
 * Handora - This quick moving enemy shoots several small projectiles at a time, and often works as part of a group.
 * Coral - When shot to death, Coral will send projectiles in the player's direction. However, killing them using melee attacks will send them flying away.
 * Boogity - These monsters have two sides: An impenetrable shield and a fleshy half that shoots missiles.
 * Monolith - More of an object than an enemy, Monoliths are floating squares that can only hurt Pit if he stands directly in their path.
 * Splin - Can divide into two
 * Specknose - Sneezes bombs at the player. Although it works with other enemies, Specknoses rarely travel together.
 * Commyloose - Octopi that throw bombs at Pit.
 * Shulm - Explode into a noxious cloud upon dying due to projectiles, making it important to attack from a distance or use melee attacks.
 * Fire Wyrm - These large foes usually cruise through the air, although their ramming attacks can cause burns.
 * Shildeen - Create force fields that protect other enemies. However, these shields can be destroyed by simply attacking.
 * Zurret - These enemies dwell in jars. They have a long reach and can shoot two projectiles at a time.
 * Paramush - A basic fungus enemy that shoots a projectile from its eye like the Monoeye.
 * Komayto - Will latch onto Pit and slowly suck his energy. Only vulnerable to melee attacks. Any similarities to Metroids are purely coincidental.
 * Daphne - These floral enemies shoot smaller flowers
 * Stackjaw - These enemies are composed of several weapon sections and a head. Destroying the head will replace a lower weapon segment with the head. These enemies can cover a large area with their lasers, and get more powerful as they grow weaker. Short to medium range projectile attacks allow the player to attack the head while leaving space to avoid attacks.
 * Minos - These enemies explode if hit by attacks.
 * Merenguy - Forces the game's camera to focus on it, therefore making the player vulnerable to other enemies.
 * Mega Mussel - Has three pearls that must each be destroyed. Shoots small energy projectiles.
 * Gloomerang - These enemies have a large boomerang on their bodies. They act as shields until they attack, at which point they become more vulnerable.
 * Reaper - Upon seeing Pit, Reapers will spawn smaller Reapettes and attack him with their giant scythes. Fortunately, they are near0sighted, and can be snuck past at points.
 * Shelbo - This shelled opponent can vacuum Pit towards its mouth and poison him. Its mouth is the only weak point. Ironically, it only exposes its eye, the weakest part of its mouth, when attacking.
 * Zuree - Has two forms: an intangible form where it can't attack and a vulnerable one where it can swipe its ferocious claws.
 * Orne - Arguably the most powerful enemy in the game, the Orne will instantly KO players who come into contact with it. Ornes are also immune to most weaponry. Fortunately, they are not particularly fast, nor do they have any projectiles. Also, they can only exist in the presence of other enemies, meaning that by saving them for last, they are automatically defeated. However, when you hear their music in the background, flee.
 * Tortolunk - Turns upside down and spins like a top to attack Pit. However, they become vulnerable after attacking
 * Eggplant Wizard - Tosses projectiles that temporarily turn Pit into an Eggplant, rendering him incapable of attacking.
 * Clubberskull - These powerful enemies deal massive damage, move surprisingly quickly, and can absorb major punishment. Fortunately, they can sometimes be left alone, although players will have to fight them sometimes.
 * Magmoo - This magma-based enemy shoots fireballs.
 * Bluster - These flying enemies shoot smoke.
 * Girin - Lie in wait below the surface, waiting for players to come close. Bait them out carefully, then clobber them before they go back underground.
 * Leox - These mechanical lions are often found near vehicles.
 * Armin - These creatures have impenetrable shield in both their front and back. Their sides, however, are fairly vulnerable. Attack them here after dodging their wild charges.
 * Petribomber - Tosses rock bombs.
 * Snong - Summons giant floating limbs to crush enemies.
 * Vakloom - Vaklooms absorb ranged attacks to power up their own lasers. Melee attacks, however, give them no special bonus.
 * Sinistew - This genie grabs players from a distance and traps them in his pot, causing major damage. Take them out quickly using melee attacks.
 * Brawny Claws - Blocks progress by stretching its claws out.
 * Snowman - Beware this enemy's breath, which can temporarily freeze Pit. They also use physical attacks.
 * Frozum - Summons blizzards that affect the area around it.
 * Pluton - These speedy enemies steal weapons that Pit has earned during a chapter, though slaying them will liberate the weapon in question.
 * Zik & Zak - Defeating the larger Zik will leave the smaller Zak vulnerable.
 * Bumbledrop - When upright, Bumbledrops are easygoing enemies that can admittedly take a fair amount of punishment. When it falls over though, it becomes immune to ranged attacks and charges at the player.
 * Remoblam & Remoblamling - Destroying the master Remoblam will detonate the subordinate Remoblamlings.
 * Collin & Phil - Collin is only vulnerable to Phil, who he shoots out of his cannon. Melee Phil back at Collin to deal damage.
 * Trailtail - Leaves behind lines of silk that harm Pit upon contact. Shoot the Trailtail at the front of a line to destroy the entire thing.
 * Shootfly - Will attack only upon detecting ranged shots
 * Igniot - Their beams can temporarily turn Pit into stone, leaving him vulnerable to attack.
 * Tempura Wizard - This enemy has two attacks. First, they fire flames that can turn Pit into a shrimp tempura. If this hits, they chase Pit and try to eat him before he reverts to normal. If he manages to eat Pit, its a one-hit kill.
 * Erinus - It's top and bottom halves can fight independently.
 * Guttler - Devours its allies to become stronger. Players can either kill it first or target smaller foes to limit its growth.
 * Fort Oink - Like the Belunka, this is a troop transport. However, its only weak point is its face.
 * Monomiknose - This combination of basic enemies still only fires a couple of projectiles.
