Kerons return in this adventure and are among the first enemies that Pit will encounter, introduced during ''[[The Return of Palutena]]''. While they prefer to stay on land, Kerons won't hesitate to jump and glide after Pit as he is flying. At ground level, they will hop in place and can be dispatched rather quickly, although it can perform a spinning charge attack if threatened. In addition, Kerons are also capable of launching a fast spiraling projectile whenever they jump into the air. | |||
====Idol Description==== | |||
''This winged, one-eyed frog uses its wings to make up for the fact that it can't jump that well. Despite its laziness, Keron's surprisingly nimble spin attack and large, durable body make it a formidable foe.'' | |||
