Subspace Army: Difference between revisions

[[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]].

==Basic troops==

===Armank===

[[File:Armank.jpg|thumb|An Armank]]

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.

 

===Armight===

[[File:Subspace Army Unknown3.jpg|thumb|Several Armights]]

===Auroros===

[[File:BrawlAuroros.jpg|thumb|An Auroros]]

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.

 

===Autolance===

[[File:Autolance.jpg|thumb|An Autolance]]

An '''Autolance''' is a cross between a knight and a tank which that moves on caterpillar treads, and uses a giant lance attached to its front to ram and sometimes shoot the player, dealing damage. Their weak spot is inside their armored helmet, in the form of an emergency light.

 

===Bombed===

[[File:Bombed.jpg|thumb|A Bombed]]

A '''Bombed''' is a small red-and-black humanoid creature with a bomb for a head. It hurls its own bomb head at the player and explodes, dealing major damage. Its weakness is its tendency to self-destruct when hit with a fire attack.

 

===Borboras===

[[File:Borboras-SSE.png|thumb|A Borboras]]

A '''Borboras''' is a humanoid enemy. It is characterized by a head that resembles a wind instrument decorated on top with trumpet valves. If it spots the player, it blows wind towards the player. If the player is too close and it starts to blow wind, the player will be hit by the head.

 

===Bucculus===

[[File:Bucculus2.jpg|thumb|A Bucculus]]

A '''Bucculus''' is a flower-like creature found planted. Its lips, the only part of them visible from the ground, are covered with spikes that stick to the player and steals health. The torso area is a pink sack storing its health, but it is not necessarily a weak point. Despite this, if it is defeated when the sac is full, it may drop a [[Maxim Tomato]]. Otherwise, it may drop [[Food]].

 

===Buckot===

[[File:Buckot2.jpg|thumb|A Buckot]]

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.

 

===Bytan===

[[File:BrawlBytan.jpg|thumb|Many Bytans]]

'''Bytans''' are a spherical creature with a large eye and sharklike teeth. It is encountered in the [[Subspace Emissary]] mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. If undisturbed, Bytans will start multiplying, spawning more from their eyes, and become much more difficult to avoid. There are also large Bytans that are much stronger than the standard size.

 

===Cymul===

[[File:Cymul2.jpg|thumb|A Cymul]]

'''Cymuls''' are floating metallic enemies whose coating allows them to reflect projectiles. If the player gets too close to them, they will attack by rapidly spinning the four blades on their body before launching away the player with the final hit.

 

===Feyesh===

[[File:Feyesh.jpg|thumb|Two Feyesh]]

A '''Feyesh''' is an enemy with a body that looks like a one-eyed goldfish. It floats lazily through the air. When it spots the player, its eye opens and it attacks with its five tentacles. Despite its resemblance to a fish, Feyesh cannot survive in water. If their eyes touch water, they disappear, leaving behind only a few bubbles. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "fish" and "eye".

 

===Floow===

[[File:Floow - SSB Brawl Subspace Emissary.jpg|thumb|Two Floows]]

'''Floow''' is a ghost-like creature, made from strips of darkness forming a humanoid shape with small red eyes. They float in the air and summon a field of dark energy, causing heavy damage. Floows can regenerate health lost over time, although they cannot move or attack while healing.

 

===Gamyga===

[[File:Gamyga.jpg|thumb|Pit facing a Gamyga]]

A '''Gamyga''' is an enemy with a colorful-art clown head, supported by a stepped set of four yellow bases which also have eyes and arms. This enemy is the height of the screen and it blocks the path, often forcing players to defeat it. It attacks by shooting lasers from its eyes. 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 [[Pokey]]s.

===Generator===

[[File:Generator SSB4 3DS.jpg|thumb|A Generator in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'']]

'''Generators''' are black and purple portals which spawn up to thirty [[Mite]]s 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.
