A Floow (フロウス Furousu) is an enemy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode which first appears in the Ruined Zoo level. It looks like a large black cloud with gray rectangles forming a humanoid shape and two small red eyes. Its trophy describes it as "a ghost patched with strips of darkness." A Floow's attacks (some sort of scream) cause high damage and knockback but are very easy to knockout as well. It is also possible for two Floows attacking at alternate times to trap a player. A particular annoyance of the Floow is its ability to steadily regain health, although it cannot move or attack while healing. Floows can be turned into a trophy with the use of a trophy stand, but precise aiming and timing may be required as the Floows float around. Floows are also completely immune to absorbable attacks; such attacks will simply vanish on contact and not do anything.

Name origin

Its name is a corruption of the word "flow", which describes the way it moves.

Damage taken

  Normal Slash Electric Freezing Flame Grass (effect) Water (effect) Darkness Aura (effect) Specials: Direct Specials: Indirect
Damage taken ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×2.5 ×1.0

It is unknown why Floows take more damage than any other enemy; it can be inferred that it is related to its ability to self-regenerate.

Trophy Description

The Floow trophy in Brawl

An enemy that might be described as a ghost patched with strips of darkness. A Floow will float in the air and attack nastily from behind. Harboring pent-up resentment, a Floow's cries reveal one part sadness, one part madness. This especially hits home when gazing into its ghastly red eyes. After taking a certain amount of damage, a Floow will disappear.
