The Orne 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 larger Underworld monsters, revealed to almost match the size of the afore-mentioned Whaler. It is currently unknown how this creature attacks, although it can be assumed that the skulls in its mouth are used as its weapon.
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. Unlike most Underworld monsters, Ornes don't seem to disappear when defeated. Instead, the ghostly force possessing the skull seems to vanish, leaving it burnt and wrapped in what looks like a chain of light. It is currently unknown why this occurs.
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, often guarding important doorways.
