Zuree (ズリー Zurī) are ghost-like enemies and evil spirits of the Underworld. They are most notable for their large nose, giving them a very strange appearance in the vein of Specknose.
Characteristics
The Zuree are a race of malevolent ghosts that normally reside deep in the Underworld, but are among Medusa's high-ranking fighters despite them being rather weak. This ghostly monster is cloaked in white and has a brown face with discernible features, the most prominent being its large, red nose. In a way, this feature acts as a fault for the Zuree as its bright red coloration causes it to stick out like a sore thumb in dark places, despite the rest of its gloomy body fitting in with its surroundings. During the years leading up to Kid Icarus: Uprising, the Zuree evolved into much more frightening spirits, now sporting massive, curving claws tipped in red.
Appearances
Kid Icarus
"An evil ghost brought in by Medusa to guard the Palace in the Sky. They roam around in groups yet they have little fighting power. Nevertheless, don't let them catch Pit unaware. Make sure that Pit finishes them all off."
Zuree are encountered in the Palace in the Sky. A Zuree has what appears to be a bright red nose that practically glows in contrast to its surroundings. They simply fly vertically, and are one of the weakest foes Pit will encounter.

Kid Icarus: Uprising
The Zuree returns in this game with an updated look. In contrast to its goofy appearance in Kid Icarus, this enemy now looks much more ghastly and evil, having flaming yellow eyes and two enormous claws on each of its hands. These claws can cause shaking when Pit is struck by them. In addition, its prominent red nose has been replaced with an equally bright red tongue that droops down from its mouth, which is lined with sharp teeth. It can now transform itself into a blue flame as well. The Zuree are first encountered during The Reaper's Line of Sight.

Trivia
- The Zuree were possibly inspired by the Shades of Greek mythology, which were said to be evil cloaked spirits of the Underworld.
