First Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012) Latest Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012) Affiliation(s): Medusa, Hades Enemy Type: Aerial

The Orne (オーン) is a new monster introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It was first shown in the original game trailer next to a Belunka, having what appears to be many skulls of different colors within its wide mouth. It is one of the most dangerous enemies in the game, as simply touching it results in instant death.

Characteristics

The Orne appears to be a carrier of lost souls, all of which emanate from its gaping maw when opened wide. The creature itself resembles a human skull, although far more demonic in appearance, having a multitude of spider-like eyes and large horns around its head and jawbone. The creature is also bluish green in coloration and glows with a neon fire, giving it an unusually colorful appearance despite its ghastly nature. The Orne doesn't have any attacks, but will screech at Pit to try and intimidate him. The true danger is that the monster's body can deplete his health completely by simply touching him, causing an instant death. They are also invincible most of the time, but will disappear if Pit runs far away from them. Oddly, an unknown 8-bit tune will play whenever an Orne is nearby.

Appearances

Kid Icarus:Uprising

Ornes are large and extremely dangerous foes. One touch from them means instant defeat for the player, and Ornes themselves cannot be defeated by normal means, except the ones in Medusa's Final Battle, in which Pit can destroy them by using the Arrow of Light while equipped with the Three Sacred Treasures. They first appear during The Reaper's Line of Sight.

Trivia

• Ornes are the only enemies aside from Reapers that play 8-bit music when they've spotted Pit, although this tune seems to have been created exclusively for Uprising.
