The Komayto (コメト Kometo) is a creature in the game Kid Icarus. This enemy bears a strikingly similar look to a Metroid from the popular "Metroid" series. They move in the exact fashion as Monoeyes, in groups of four in Skyworld. Their appearance was drastically altered in the Game Boy sequel, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, having only a single "tooth" and appearing in the Skyworld Tower. They attack Pit by ramming (using the Climbing behavior); unlike the average Metroid, Komaytos do not latch onto Pit and drain his energy (except where noted below for Kid Icarus: Uprising).
Characterics
A Komayto resembles a floating blue jellyfish with a set of four fangs and a cluster of neural cells that function as the creature's brain. Its durable skin is tougher than it looks, able to withstand weak attacks.
Appearances
Kid Icarus
"A mysterious floating creature. Nobody knows where it came from. One theory has it that it came from a planet other than Earth. It's a nasty jellyfish monster."

Kid Icarus: Uprising
Komaytos will appear in the game, acting much more like true Metroids than in previous installments of the series. They will latch onto Pit and suck his life energy if he does not dispatch them quick enough. Komaytos are almost identical to the modern depiction of Metroids, with the only real difference being that they now have tentacles instead of claws.
Trivia
- Komayto comes from Kometo, short for Kometoroido, meaning "Metroid Child" in Japanese.
