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 purple monster that wears a green spiked shell. The Shelbo can open it's 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, the shell causes a Poison effect when Pit 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.

Appearances[]
Kid Icarus: Uprising[]
Shelbos are strong enemies in the Underworld Army. They will appear in most chapters but are not as common as Monoeyes.
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[]
- The name "Shelbo" most likely comes from the words "shell" and turbo."
