Monoeye: Difference between revisions

'''Monoeyes''' (モノアイ ''Monoai'') are among the Underworld's basic flying soldiers that often attack in groups. They are some of the most recognizable enemies in the series, in part due to their abundance in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Monoeyes are physically similar to [[Mick]]s, except they have a large eye instead of a mouth.

The Monoeye is one of three enemies based on an exaggerated facial feature, the others being Mick and [[Specknose]]. As its name implies, this creature is well-known for its massive single eye that gives it almost telescopic vision. This trait allows a Monoeye to find its targets very easily from the sky, giving it the opportunity to attack unexpectedly and in full force with many others of its kind. This monster also has numerous tentacles that help it to fly through the air quickly and efficiently. Like many Underworld enemies, the Monoeye can shoot plasma energy from its eye as a projectile attack. When using this ability, its normally blue or red iris will glow bright orange. There is also a cellular version of Monoeye in ''Uprising''. Cellular Monoeyes have no visible eye, but they act just like Monoeyes.

Monoeyes are large eyeball-shaped creatures with short tentacles who [[Enemy Tactics#Swoop|fly in formations]] of four and are only found in the [[Underworld]]. They are weak aerial monsters with a minimum threat level, but can pass through walls, making navigation difficult.

===''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''===

Monoeyes return as the most common enemies during Pit's adventure, and appear in almost all chapters of the story. They were among the very first monsters revealed in the original trailer, and are now capable of launching projectile attacks. Monoeyes also form part of the [[Monomiknose]], giving this intriguing combo its two eyes.

Monoeyes appear in the 3DS-exclusive mode, [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]], as common enemies.

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' there's a similar-looking enemy called the [[smashwiki:Feyesh|Feyesh]]. They resemble an orange fish with one big eye and tentacles. Coincidentally, Feyesh first appear in the Sea of Clouds level, which is located near and can be considered part of the World of Trophies's [[Skyworld]], which is based on the ''Kid Icarus'' world of the same name and is where players first take control of [[Pit]]. However, story-wise, Monoeyes do not actually appear in this particular level.
