"''An inhabitant of the enemy's nest. A real coward, it hates brightly lit places. However, it'll jump out real fast once it's spotted Pit.''" | |||
Specknoses are enemies that only appear in [[Enemy Lair]]s. They fly in a [[Enemy Tactics#Swarming|swarm-like pattern]], similar to [[Ganewmede]]s and [[Tros]]. Unlike most enemies, though, Specknose isn't worth any experience points. Despite what the manual says, Specknose's speed doesn't increase with [[Pit]]'s proximity. | Specknoses are enemies that only appear in [[Enemy Lair]]s.

"''Specknose prefers damp climates and, while cowardly by nature, isn't afraid to launch sneeze bombs at the first sight of prey. Its mustache-like growth is actually a set of tentacles. Gross, right?''" | |||
Specknose returns in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' as a much more challenging enemy than ever before. Not only is it unusually strong compared to other enemies, but it also has a powerful projectile bomb attack that it launches from both of its nostrils. It no longer attacks in large swarms, and can now fight alongside other enemies with brute force. In addition, a Specknose can also fake out Pit by sneezing at him. | Specknose returns in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' as a much more challenging enemy than ever before.
