Coral

Coral is an enemy introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It is a relatively weak in defense so you can defeat them easily. When defeated its breaks apart and sprays bits of rock over an area. The direction in which these rock pieces fly out depends on how you defeat them. Using range attacks causes the pieces to fly toward you and cause damage to you if hit. Use a melee attack and they'll fly in the opposite direction, hurting enemies that the rock pieces touch, so you can use them to your advantage. They first appear in Chapter 2.
