A Glire (Japanese: ガルファイア, Galfire) is an enemy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode. It appears as a round machine (wheel, according to the trophy) with a central eye. Glires move around by rolling on floors, walls, and ceilings, although they will fall down if they flinch. When a Smasher approaches to it, a Glire will pause, open up, and launch fire out of its body. This attack only hits once, so shielding it allows a large lag time in which to attack. Like flame Jyks, Glires appear in caverns and ruins.

Name origin

Glire's name is a combination of the words glare, referring to its eyes on either side of its body that are wide open, and fire, referring to its flame attack.

Trophy description

File:Glire Trophy.jpg
The Glire trophy from Brawl.

An enemy shaped like a tire. It's protected by three black shells, but they're not so hard as to be impenetrable. The outermost shell is covered in mucus that lets it stick to surfaces as it rolls along walls and ceilings. The eye in its center is creepy. When it spots the player, it stops, sheds its outer layers, and spouts fire from its inner recesses.

Trivia

  • As a trophy, the Glire is the only one of its family that doesn't separate into the stretched form, which shows its element.
