Erinuses are monsters encountered in the [[Palace in the Sky]]. An Erinus will continue to attack [[Pit]] even after being blasted apart by his [[Arrow of Light]] by having the remaining parts dash at the angel. It is tenacious enough to keep re-appearing until shot to pieces. | |||

Erinus appears in ''[[Medusa's Final Battle]]'' and a few rare other places. Unlike its previous appearance, it can only split into two parts when defeated—its upper body and its legs. Humorously, it is revealed that the Erinus wears blue-striped boxer shorts underneath its robes when it splits apart. Before it splits, the Erinus attacks by firing energy balls at Pit; afterwards, the upper body will try to ram into Pit at high speed while the legs try to kick him. If the upper body is destroyed before the legs, the legs will become permanently confused and can be defeated easily. They were referred to as as being gods in the original ''Kid Icarus'' game, although it seems that no longer is the case. | |||
====Idol Description==== | |||
''An Erinus is an Underworld foe that prefers to attack in great numbers, though even when seeming to fight solo...it isn't. Its top and bottom halves can separate and fight independently, making it a diabolical duo!'' | |||
