'''Belunkas''' (ホエーラ ''Hoeera'') are giant, flying green whales that appear in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. They are unquestionably among the largest enemies that [[Pit]] will encounter in the game, and act as vessels for carrying other [[Underworld]] monsters. These mighty creatures are encountered early on in ''[[Magnus and the Dark Lord]]'', where a Belunka pursues Pit through a narrow canyon attempting to eat him. | '''Belunkas''' (ホエーラ ''Hoeera'') are giant, flying green whales that appear in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''.

For being somewhat common enemies, Belunkas are quite big and strong, although they rarely attack directly. Instead, they are able to spawn a variety of other monsters from a dark mist within their mouth. Otherwise, a Belunka will simply watch over the battle until Pit defeats the enemies it unleashes, causing the beast to spawn more until it is destroyed itself.

Instead, they are able to spawn a variety of other monsters from a dark mist within their mouth. Otherwise, a Belunka will simply watch over the battle until Pit defeats the enemies it unleashes, causing the beast to spawn more until it is destroyed itself. It also has some of the most health of any enemy, thus making its defeat all the more challenging, especially when flying. In terms of appearance, Belunkas have all of the features a typical whale would have, although its fins are large enough to serve as wings. It also wears a crown-like structure on its head, likely as a regal symbol of its high rank in the Underworld army. | ||

Belunkas are a common enemy found in both land and air battles, and are first encountered in ''[[Magnus and the Dark Lord]]''. | |||
===Idol Description=== | |||
''Belunka is a living troop transport that loads smaller Underworld forces in its mouth - also its weak point - and then vomits them out onto the battlefield. Take down Belunka, and you'll also destroy all the enemies inside!'' | |||
