'''Commylooses''' (カイメルース ''Kaimerūsu'') are octopus-like foes that leap up from below in groups of four. From there, they continue to jump around, hoping to hit [[Pit]]. They're commonly found in the [[Underworld]] and use [[Enemy Tactics#Pounce|pouncing]] tactics, of the climber sub-variety. They are relatively weak creatures, especially vulnerable to [[Protective Crystal]]s.

Commylooses are called King Krabs this time around. In addition, their appearance has been changed slightly to fit this name, resembling crabs rather than octopus-like creatures as they did in the past.

Commylooses return with a more squid-like appearance, and a new attacking strategy. This time around, they carry around bombs that can be tossed at Pit.


====Idol Description====
''These squid-like enemies grow gigantic missiles that, once finished, are hurled with their tentacles. While these missiles are technically part of their bodies, Commyloose are eager to be rid of such potentially explosive weapons.''
