Minos | Minos floats in the air like a balloon, and will inflate as it is hit with attacks. When it grows large enough, Minos will explode, flinging its spikes through the air and knocking Pit back if he is caught in the blast. They are fairly common enemies that first appear in ''[[Heads of the Hewdraw]]''. | ||
====Manual Description==== | |||
''Covered in spikes like a blowfish, Minos swells up when attacked. Although it looks cool and collected--even when fully puffed--Minos is actually seething with rage on the inside. Don't take it personally.'' | |||
