A '''Shaydas''' ({{ja|ジェイダス|Jeidasu}}, ''Jaydus'') is an enemy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Subspace Emissary]] mode, first appearing in [[the Lake Shore]] level.  

They are large black amalgamations of [[Shadow Bug]]s with two jointed heads and long, two-ended blades on either arm. They lack any facial feature, except for very small bright eyes - although their appearence roughly reminds two slim, conjoined twins.

Their body has a peculiar trait as well: a sort of "core" at its center, a bright red sphere resembling a jewel. This gem is probably intended to be their hearth, also being their weak point.

Like many others [[Enemy|enemies]], Shaydas are infamous for their extremely powerful and swift attacks, which are often unpredictable. They always attack while levitating, and can move around to chase the player; their moves have also a decent to wide [[hitbox]] and [[range]], which makes them even more dangerous.

*A very dangerous [[combo]] attack, composed by nine consecutive double slashes and a final blowing slash. This move is swift and likely to trap the player, inflicting enormous damage (over 250%) before the last slash ensures the KO. The blowing slash alone is very powerful, KOing around 30% on Intense, while most hits chaining will always result in an OHKO, even on Easy difficulty, due to the ludicrous damage output suffered by the player.

The following list shows the damage inflicted by the combo attack for every difficulty, respectively for each hit and combined (assuming all hits chain, including the final blow):

*Easy: 10% per hit, 106% combined.

*Normal: 14% per hit, 149% combined.

*Hard: 18% per hit, 190% combined.  

*Very Hard: 22% per hit, 230% combined.  

*Intense: 26% per hit, 269% combined.

 

As shown by the list, this attack is one of the [[Damage|most damaging move]]s ever, being able to deal over 250% if most or all hits chain on Intense.

While Shaydas are barely scratched by most attacks, their center (a red sphere or jewel) functions as a weak point: attacks deal double damage to it under most scenarios. Some moves have a 1,6 multiplier here instead. Attacking this weak point of the best (if not only strategy) to defeat them, avoiding great damage or a KO from their swift and powerful moves.

''An odd enemy with two heads. Its legs might suggest that it's a beast of some sort, but in actuality, a Shaydas is formed by swarms of Shadow Bugs. Maybe that's why recklessly attacking it will do no good--you must strike its pink core to defeat it. Just watch out for the giant blades that it brings to the party. Mind the blades, and pick your attacks wisely!''
