In the original ''Kid Icarus'', the Girin is a large, pink insect with green mandibles and eyes, and a yellow underside.
Girins are large insects that have dug their way to the Overworld using their large green mandibles. They are mainly pink in color with a yellow underside and green eyes. Aside from a Girin's head, the rest of this creature's body is never seen due to it staying mostly underground. It doesn't directly hunt for food; rather, it lies in wait burrowed within the earth until an unlucky soul passes above its nest. Once that happens, most creatures will be unable to escape the powerful grip of a Girin's mandibles as it pops out from the ground. However, if the monster's prey does manage to escape its grasp, it will still try to attack by tossing rocks at its fleeing meal.
