Shulms can now explode and expel a poison cloud when hit with projectile attacks. Because of this, melee attacks or striking from very far away is necessary to defeat Shulms without taking damage; fortunately, this is easy to do, as they tend to waddle around aimlessly and ignore Pit unless attacked. Their explosive capabilities are similar to those of [[Minos]].
