A Ticken (テキン, Tekin) is an enemy in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary that first appears at The Plain. It appears as a poorly-made artificial creature that resembles a stout chicken, though upon defeat, its "body" falls apart and reveals that a chick-like bird was manipulating the Ticken before it flies away. The Ticken has a pair of attacks, one where it flies into the air and then attacks with an attack similar to the Bowser or Yoshi Bomb, which can bury, and another where it extends its comb and rams the player. Due to their defeat animation having their body fall apart, Tickens cannot be subjected to careening.

Name origin

The enemy's name is a combination of the words tick, describing what it does with its sharp comb, and chicken, describing the appearance of the creature itself. It's Japanese name "Tekin/テキン" seems to be a corruption of "chicken (チキン)", as the katakana te/テ and chi/チ look very similar.

Trophy

Ticken's trophy in Brawl

Ticken

An enemy that looks like a chicken--quite a hefty chicken. But despite its weight, it can indeed fly. After taking a certain amount of damage, a Ticken will open up to reveal a little chick enemy. Notice the two bolts on its belly? And what's the deal with the four missing bolts? It probably hasn't even noticed they're missing.

Trivia

• Tickens are similar to Sonic the Hedgehog's own Badniks, both are artificial creatures that resemble animals and have a smaller and organic animal inside it.
