Trophy information

Kihunter

Creatures hailing from the Metroid series. They start off life as a Zero, growing into this bee-like form. Kihunters prefer to attack with quick dashes and by spitting gobs of acid. Definitely dodge the acid—it stuns you and goes through shields. Defeated Kihunters drop Jump stat boosts.

These insectoids from the Metroid series emerge from their larval form known as a Zero. Kihunters attack by either charging at you from above or spitting acid. That acid can paralyse you, and it'll even cut through your shield, so dodge to avoid getting hit. If you defeat a Kihunter, you'll get Jump stat boosts for your troubles.

Kihunters are insectoid enemies introduced in Super Metroid, where they assisted the Space Pirates in rebuilding Zebes. Zero is their larval stage. They appear again in Other M, the source of their Smash design, where they were studied. They are led by King Kihunter.
