Bytans (バイタン, Bitan) are enemies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. They first appear at The Ruined Zoo.

Description[edit]

Bytans are spherical and limbless creatures. The lower half of their body is colored white and the upper half comes in nine different colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown and black, making them resemble Poké Balls or the Pokémon, Voltorb, and its evolved form, Electrode. A red and cycloptic eye that bulges whenever they are about to multiply appears on their upper half, while a gaping smile bearing sharp teeth and a representation of the Subspace Army's insignia appears on the front and back of the bottom half, respectively.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As enemies[edit]

Bytans first appear at The Ruined Zoo. They can multiply within seconds by producing another Bytan from their eyes, forcing the player to destroy them quickly before things get out of hand; they attack more on lower difficulties while multiplying faster on higher ones. They often appear in ambushes, so that they can multiply more often and make it harder for the player to dispatch them. They attack with a charging headbutt and their attacks are telegraphed by them rolling.

There are also giant-sized Bytans, which are about four times larger and have roughly three times more health. These Bytans are far less likely to multiply than the ordinary ones are.

Trophy[edit]

Bytan
A spherical creature divided into two colors. There's a big, staring eye in the colored section, and the white part contains the creature's gaping mouth and exposed fangs. It rolls along and smashes into all enemies it meets. After a short time, it will pop another Bytan out of its eye, so if you leave it alone, it will continue to produce one Bytan after another.
