Syrens return to this installment of the series, and they now have a much more colorful appearance and can attack Pit with whirlwind projectiles that can home in on his position. They are very common enemies, appearing in numerous chapters of the story. Oddly, Syrens also have been seen carrying other enemies on their backs, most notably during ''[[Magnus and the Dark Lord]]''. | |||
===[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]=== | ====Idol Description==== | ||
Syrens | ''Long though the stuff of myths, Syrens are creatures that seem to combine the bodies of women with the limbs of birds. Their ability to fly and shoot whirlwinds from their open mouths sets them apart from all monsters and most gamers.'' | ||

This trait is remedied in ''Uprising'', as the Syren now wears a breastplate. | *In one of the exceedingly rare cases of [[Nintendo]] nudity, the Syren is naked in the original ''Kid Icarus'' manual.

**However, one of the [[:File:Pitagainstunderworld.jpg|illustrations]] for ''Uprising'' depict a Syren with a design that appears to make it nude, which may have been the original planned design before it was altered for obvious reasons. | |||
