Eggplant Wizard: Difference between revisions

===[[Kid Icarus]]===

Being lieutenants of [[Medusa]], they guard [[Fortress]]es, becoming more numerous with each subsequent fortress, and often in deadly pairs. When Pit enters a room that they occupy, they will cast their eggplants in either high or low arcs. The duo will both throw in the same way and walking out of the room and back into it will most likely change the arc style, making it a bit easier to avoid being cursed; two Wizards can provide excellent cover for each other. This condition can only be cured by getting to a [[Hospital]], where a friendly [[Nurse]] will remove the curse. Being turned into an eggplant, no matter how painful it looks or the stomach-twistingly pathetic sound it makes when Pit is cursed, causes only minor damage.

''Those hit by eggplants thrown by the Eggplant Wizard are turned into, well, eggplants. Pit can't attack in this state, and the only cure is time. So you'd best vamoose if you don't want to end up baba ghanoush.''

Eggplant Wizard returns in Kid Icarus: Uprising as an uncommon enemy on grounded segments. Similar to previous appearances, the Eggplant Wizard will throw eggplants in an arching shot that explode in a magical cloud on contact with the ground; both the cloud and the eggplant itself will transform Pit, but being hit with the eggplant directly will inflict damage as well. When Pit is turned into an eggplant, he cannot use weapons but can still run and dodge. Unlike the previous games, the eggplant effects will vanish after a period of time, or if the Effect Recovery Power is equipped, it can be used to return to normal immediately. When fighting Pit, the Eggplant Wizard teleports out of Pit's reach(usually leaving an eggplant behind as a trap), making melee attacks difficult to use against him.

Eggplant Wizard was one of [http://metroidwiki.org/wiki/Mother_Brain Mother Brain]'s lieutenants, next to [http://punchout.wikia.com/wiki/King_Hippo King Hippo] of [http://punchout.wikia.com/wiki/Punch-Out_Wiki Punch-Out] fame in ''[http://captainn.wikia.com/ Captain N: The Game Master]''. He would immediately spout fruit and vegetables when agitated or hurt, and often used them for outlandish purposes (such as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananaphone banana-phone]).

*However, there is a possibility that the Eggplant Wizard might be an underlying reference to the Eggplant Man from the [[Nintendo]] game, ''Wrecking Crew'', which was released a year before ''Kid Icarus''.
