Lurchthorns (トツコツ Totsukotsu) are Forces of Nature enemies that debuted in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Physical appearance[]
The Lurchthorn is a skeletal, fish-like monster made up of several triangular segments. Its brown skeleton is concealed by gray armor, which rotates while attacking.
Appearances[]
Kid Icarus: Uprising[]
Lurchthorns fly around a set path and use the segmented guns on their body to fire projectiles at their targets. These guns can be destroyed individually, causing it to lose the ability to attack—however, the only way to defeat the Lurchthorn is by targeting its head.

A Lurchthorn in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Lurchthorns are enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. A Lurchthorn flies forward back and forth, and it attacks by firing projectiles from each of its segments. The player's fighter can defeat a Lurchthorn by attacking its segments, although destroying the head defeats the enemy automatically. Lurchthorns grant the player power-ups upon defeat. If a Lurchthorn is not defeated soon enough, it flies away.
A Lurchthorn also appears during the Reset Bomb portion of the Reset Bomb Forest stage, where it occasionally appears on the bottom and damages whoever touches it.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
A Lurchthorn appears in the form of a spirit.
Idol Description[]
Lurchthorn[]
This string of cannons lies in wait until an enemy draws near, at which point it activates and speeds through the air. The turrets located on its joints can be destroyed, but targeting its head is the most effective strategy.
Trophy Description[]
Lurchthorn[]
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's...some kind of giant fossilized fish. Lurchthorns fly around, shooting at anyone who strays too close. Each of its segments attacks separately, so the more it has, the more dangerous it is. To get rid of it quickly, take out the head—that'll kill off the entire Lurchthorn in one go!

Trivia[]
- Its English name is a combination of the words "lurch" and "thorn."
- Its Japanese name, Totsukotsu, is likely derived from the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of something moving slowly, "kotsu kotsu."
