The '''Eggplant Wizard''' (ナスビ使い ''Nasubi Tsukai'') is the one monster to truly strike fear into the heart of a ''Kid Icarus'' player. [[Pluton]]s are nought but a minor nuisance compared to this fiend. The Eggplant Wizard garners as much hate from old-school gamers as the Red Arremer from the ''"Ghouls 'n Ghosts 'n Goblins"'' series, the birds from ''Ninja Gaiden'', Metroids from ''Metroid'', the Thief Bot from ''Descent II'', Hammer Bros. from ''Super Mario Bros.'', and Death from ''Castlevania''. It's one of the very few enemies to possess a projectile attack. However, it's not because the Eggplant Wizard has fierce attack power (it doesn't) or high evasion (it's [[Enemy Tactics#Trudging|trudgingly]] slow), though it is one of the few foes to have a high amount of health. No, this creature is feared for one reason: | The '''Eggplant Wizard''' (ナスビ使い ''Nasubi Tsukai'') is the one monster to truly strike fear into the heart of a ''Kid Icarus'' player.

Pit's body becomes that of a purple eggplant with legs, disabling all forms of action and attack. Pit retains his ability to jump, climb, and move (moving while crouching is particularly hilarious), but all he can do is dodge. The Eggplant Wizard causes this status effect by hitting Pit with an arcing eggplant projectile; the Wizard is rather crafty at throwing these nasty little vegetables. | Pit's body becomes that of a purple eggplant with legs, disabling all forms of action and attack.
