Shelbos (ツボック Tsubokku) are new enemies that appear in Kid Icarus: Uprising. They are a part of the Underworld Army and almost completely invulnerable to regular attacks.
Characteristics[]
A Shelbo is a large monster with purple lips and red lipstick that wears a grey-green shell with purple spikes. The Shelbo can open its mouth to reveal a large eye and, at the same time, can create a tornado-like whirlwind to try to suck in Pit. If successful, it will perform a shell spin attack that poisons Pit when he comes into contact with it. Its mouth is lined with sharp teeth that can deal some damage too. A Shelbo's only weak spot is its eye, so when it tries to attack you, that's your chance. The best way to defeat this enemy is to use a backwards dash attack while it's eye is still in sight; otherwise, its shell acts as a shield, making even the strongest attacks look like just a scratch. You can, however, attack it’s purple lips, which are always exposed even when it’s not attacking, but this won’t do as much damage to it as attacking its eye will.

Idol Description[]
Essentially an impervious shell with lips, Shelbo fights by biting its prey. This attack reveals Shelbo's only weakness: they eye inside its mouth. Joke time: why is Shelbo good at dieting? Because it always watches what it eats. Oh!
Trivia[]
