(This isn't some all-powerful vampiric creature. Just like Leaps they're an annoyance at best, except Leaps are more annoying when they make you drop your ability in the water. Bucculus can't do half the things that were described) |

A Bucculus (ブチュルス, Bucculus) is a parasitic enemy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary, and first appears in The Lake level.
Appearance
A Bucculus looks like a plant with large, red lips and a purple poison zone on the back that resembles a strawberry. It hides deep in the ground, with only its lips showing.
In the Subspace Emissary
It appears as red lips on the ground: if the player goes near it, it will pop up and attempt to stick to the character. Walking over it makes it likely to stick to the player, though this can be avoided by jumping over it or getting close enough to trigger it and preempt an attack, and most characters can run over it as well. When they jump out, they have a deceptively long-lasting hitbox, with decent reach above them, especially in later levels, so the player must jump clean over them. Once stuck, Bucculus will attack by kissing the player repeatedly to deal damage, filling up its "poison zone".
If a Bucculus misses its grab attack, it will bounce around and plant itself again after a few seconds. If a Bucculus with a filled poison zone is killed, it will most likely drop a Maxim Tomato, but it could occasionally drop Food otherwise. The player does not need to weaken an "empty" Bucculus to turn it into a trophy with a trophy stand, since its base health is always very low (even on Intense).
Although the player is unable to move with a stuck Bucculus on them, they can button mash to make the Bucculus break away. Bucculus will then run and try to plant itself again in the ground. A Bucculus will naturally break away after three hits. It will do a small amount of damage when it is popped off, regardless of if the player mashes or it does so naturally.
