[[File:Subspace_Army.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|A small fraction of the Subspace Army]]
The '''Subspace Army''' is an evil organization made up of formless beings in the Subspace Emissary of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They are the main antagonists, led by the mysterious character, the [[Ancient Minister]]. It is later revealed that the Ancient Minister was forced to lead the army by [[Ganondorf]], [[Bowser]] and [[Wario]]. The trio were the ones truly controlling the army and did so under the orders of [[Master Hand]]. Master Hand is later revealed to be controlled by [[Tabuu]], the true leader of the army. The Subspace Army's main troops are a group of small shadow beings, known as [[#Primids|Primids]]. Their goal was to pull the entire world into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] so as to destroy it. They hoped to accomplish this by using a powerful and deadly weapon known as the [[Subspace Bomb]]. The army is also in command of a large assortment of weapons and doomsday devices such as the [[Subspace Gunship]], a flying fortress that could trap entire areas in subspace without the use of the Subspace Bomb. [[Petey Piranha]], [[Porky]], [[Ridley]], his [[Meta Ridley|Meta form]], and Bowser's [[Koopa Troop]] are also members of the Subspace Army. The creatures in the Subspace Army were created from [[Shadow Bug]]s, which originated from [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. The army also has in their possession a weapon known as the [[Dark Cannon]], used by both Bowser and Wario to turn other characters into [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]].

An '''Armank''' is an enemy hidden inside a tank-like structure. It moves on treads and has a functional construction arm capable of powerful attacks. Continuing to attack the arm destroys it, revealing the Armank's weak spot: a big green blob that controls the vehicle. Its name is a portmanteau of "armor" and "tank". It is the most powerful of the common units.

The '''Auroros''' is a pointy bird-like enemy creature. It has a long and pointy beak, which it uses as a weapon by dive-bombing from the air with its beak pointed straight at the ground. This causes massive damage to the players it hits, but gets stuck in the ground if it misses. Players can pluck them out of the ground and throw them at other enemies when this happens.

Otherwise, it may drop [[Food]].

A '''Buckot''' is an enemy consisting of a head resembling a Primid's with a propeller, enabling it to fly; two robotic arms, and gloves on its hands. Its primary attack consists of dumping red-hot chunks of metal onto the player. The gloves are probably used to protect themselves from the very hot metal. Sometimes, probably by mistake, Buckots drop food instead of metal onto the player, thereby healing them.

Latest revision as of 13:43, September 21, 2022

 This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

It has been requested that this article be rewritten.

A small fraction of the Subspace Army

The Subspace Army is an evil organization made up of formless beings in the Subspace Emissary of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They are the main antagonists, led by the mysterious character, the Ancient Minister. It is later revealed that the Ancient Minister was forced to lead the army by Ganondorf, Bowser and Wario. The trio were the ones truly controlling the army and did so under the orders of Master Hand. Master Hand is later revealed to be controlled by Tabuu, the true leader of the army. The Subspace Army's main troops are a group of small shadow beings, known as Primids. Their goal was to pull the entire world into Subspace so as to destroy it. They hoped to accomplish this by using a powerful and deadly weapon known as the Subspace Bomb. The army is also in command of a large assortment of weapons and doomsday devices such as the Subspace Gunship, a flying fortress that could trap entire areas in subspace without the use of the Subspace Bomb. Petey Piranha, Porky, Ridley, his Meta form, and Bowser's Koopa Troop are also members of the Subspace Army. The creatures in the Subspace Army were created from Shadow Bugs, which originated from Mr. Game & Watch. The army also has in their possession a weapon known as the Dark Cannon, used by both Bowser and Wario to turn other characters into trophies.

It is the most powerful of the common units.

Sometimes, probably by mistake, Buckots drop food instead of metal onto the player, thereby healing them.

They appear in The Ruined Zoo, The Battlefield Fortress, The Wilds, The Research Facility, the Battleship Halberd Interior, the Battleship Halberd Exterior, The Subspace Bomb Factory, and The Great Maze.

The bases can be attacked one by one to bring the enemy down to size, but the creature will be defeated fully only when the head is destroyed, similar to Pokeys.

Generator

File:Generator SSB4 3DS.jpg
A Generator in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Generators are black and purple portals which spawn up to thirty Mites to attack the player. They do not stop spawning enemies until this limit is reached or they are defeated, and do not have a health bar, unlike all other enemies, making it difficult to know how much damage is needed to destroy one at any given point.

They were not named until their later appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, where they appear in the Smash Run mode. In this mode, they can also spawn other small enemies alongside the Mites, and they give more stat boosts the sooner they are defeated.

The Mizzo is a unique creature encountered only once - within the battleship Halberd, Mizzo is found in a display room. With a round body sprouting arms and legs, its appearance and swimming motions make for an extremely bizarre being.

It is never encountered as an enemy in the game, and as such cannot be captured with a Trophy Stand, but its trophy can be found randomly in levels or in the Coin Launcher.

Nagagog

File:Nagagog.jpg
A Nagagog

A Nagagog is a sumo wrestler-like enemy with a decorative twirl on its head and a small mouth. It will start small and blue, but if it takes enough damage, it makes a laughing noise and grows larger, also turning yellow in the process. As it takes more damage, it will turn into an even larger, red version of itself.

While the Nagagog is changing into a larger version of itself, it will not take damage from attacks or items. Its health decreases much faster when it is in its larger forms. It attacks like a wrestler, jumping on top of the player. Its attack is a body slam that damages players in proportion to its body size. If players are quick with attacks, however, they may defeat Nagagogs before they have a chance to reach full size.

Poppant

The Poppant is a rare creature with rather large pants. As the player draws close to it, it will run away, leaving a trail of Food and other items in its wake. Defeating a Poppant rewards the player with more health-restoring items. Poppants appear in the Sea of Clouds, The Plain, The Battlefield Fortress, The Swamp, The Glacial Peak, the Battleship Halberd Exterior (display room only), the Subspace Bomb Factory, Subspace, and The Great Maze.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS's Smash Run mode, Poppant behave as they did before and drop stat power-ups upon getting defeated.
