Nutski

Nutskis are enemies from the Forces of Nature, Viridi's troops. They are the first enemies from the Forces of Nature  introduced in the game. Their only appearance is in Kid Icarus: Uprising. These enemies, although easy to defeat, often appear in groups and can appear with many other enemies. Their attacks are also fast and come often, especially on higher intensities, so they can easily deplete Pit's health. They are effectively Viridi's equivalent of the Monoeye. They first appear in Chapter 11.

Kid Icarus: Uprising
"A basic grunt in the Forces of Nature. It uses green leaves to fly, shooting whenever it turns itself upside down. Viridi created Nutski by removing a chestnut from its shell and blessing it with a miracle. Tastes great if you can get past its being sentient."

Characteristics
Nutskis resemble acorns with green wings that enable them to fly. They have a yellow eye in the center of their body like many other of Viridi's army. They are also made of natural materials, just like any other enemy from the Forces of Nature. It is also shown that Nutskis may be hollow, as they open up in two when they attack.

Battle Strategy
Since Nutskis are the foot-soldiers of Viridi's army, they wait around and don't attack at first. However, after some time, they will fly upside down, split open, and fire a projectile at Pit, much like Monoeyes and Miks. Of course, in Air Battles, they will go away after a while. Nutskis have low defense, so if there are many enemies, it would be wise to take out the Nutskis first to avoid any unnecessary firing.
