First Appearance: Kid Icarus (1986) Latest Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012) Affiliation(s): Medusa Enemy Type: Aerial

EelEyes are always found flying horizontally around Collins and are thus only found in the Skyworld. They don't actively attack and are pathetically weak. If Pit defeats Collin first and collects the remaining Heart (or the heart decays), all of the EelEyes will vanish, too. This is one of the few enemies that do not give experience points.

Characteristics

EelEyes are red parasitic creatures that live within the bodies of Collins. These monsters have a habit of swarming around their host when a potential threat is approaching. They have small, worm-like tails topped with a huge eye, hence their name. EelEyes each also have two feathers that they use to fly, usually in a horizontal hovering pattern. Due to is small size, it can potentially burrow into its victims as a way of attacking.

Kid Icarus

EelEyes are confirmed to return in the game, once again accompanying Collins. Oddly, they are now called by their Japanese name, Phils.

Trivia

• In Japan, EelEyes were apparently known as Phils. Due to them accompanying the Collins in battle, their names supposedly serve as a random yet underlying reference to Phil Collins, a famous singer.
