||
| − | Pit's body becomes that of a purple eggplant with legs, disabling all forms of attack.[[ Pit ]] retains his ability to jump, climb, and move, but all he can do is dodge attacks. The Eggplant Wizard causes this status effect by casting a spell on Pit with an arcing eggplant projectile; This condition can only be cured by traveling all the way to the fortress [[Hospital]], where a friendly [[Nurse]] will remove the curse. However, in [[Kid Icarus Uprising]], the Goddess Palutena will cure the curse herself after a short time of being afflicted, as she has explained that there are no hospitals in the game. Being turned into an eggplant doesn't cause any damage to Pit, decrease his speed, or any other status effects, but it is still quite inconvenient to be under this spell. |
||
| + | In the original ''Kid Icarus'' and ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters|Of Myths and Monsters]]'', the Eggplant Wizard is a purple-skinned monster with large, pink lips and a single green eye. It wears a long, blue robe with a pink and blue cape, and wields a golden staff with an eggplant charm attached to it. |
||
| + | In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising|Uprising]]'', its eye is now magenta, which matches its sash-like cape. Its robe is accompanied by brown and green accessories, and its staff now appears to be made of wood. |

||
| − | The Wizard is perhaps a vegetative creature, like the [[Holer]] and [[Daphne]] enemies. The Eggplant Wizard is tall, cloaked, and usually wields a long, yellow-brown magic staff, that has a small eggplant key-chain hanging from the end. Although they're dangerous monsters, they are not agile by any means. Like many other creatures in [[Angel Land]], the Wizard has a single, large eye. |

Kid Icarus: Uprising
The Eggplant Wizard's strategy is the same as it previously was—to inflict the eggplant curse on its opponents to leave them vulnerable. However, it now has different methods for inflicting this curse: at a distance, it will throw two projectiles toward Pit, and at close-range, it will throw two eggplants directly over him. In addition, it teleports closer if the angel is outside of its attack range, and may also occasionally teleport while Pit is within its range; if this occurs, it will leave behind a single eggplant in its place, which will transform Pit if he is caught up in the blast.
Unlike the original Kid Icarus, Pit receives an insignificant amount of damage if hit with one of its projectiles, and its curse is now only temporary, as Palutena will cure the curse herself after a short period of time.
