A Shaydas (ジェイダス, Jaydus) is an enemy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode, first appearing in the Lake Shore level.

Appearance

They are large black amalgamations of Shadow Bugs 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, Aldo being their weak point.

In the Subspace Emissary

Shaydas have three main methods of attacking: a slow, powerful, blade cross, a double slash, and a triple slash. The latter is only used at low health levels.

While Shaydas are barely scratched by most attacks, its center, a red sphere, functions as a weak point - attacks deal double damage to it under most scenarios. Shaydas levitate as well.

Trophy description

The Shaydas trophy in Brawl

Shaydas

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!

Trivia

• Shaydas bears a resemblance to Master Core from Super Smash Bros. 4, as both have particles called the "Swarm".
