Auroroses (アロアロス, Aroaros in Japan) are bird-like enemies in The Subspace Emissary. It usually hovers in one spot until the player comes into range, after which it dives from the sky, jabbing its beak into the ground. Once it is stuck in the ground, it cannot attack, and it can be pulled out by pressing the attack button and used as a thrown item. After being thrown in this manner, the Auroros is defeated.
On higher difficulties, Auroros cannot be thrown as far before being destroyed. This makes it more difficult (or impossible, on Intense) to hit enemies with the throw.
Name origin
Auroros' name is an obvious corruption of the word aurora, describing its colorful feathers.
Trophy description
A unique enemy characterized by a long beak and rainbow-patterned wings and tail. Like most birds, the Auroros flies through the sky. Once one has you in its sights, it will dive in for the attack. Since it has a sharp beak, dodging its attack will leave it stuck firmly in the ground. Fortunately, you can pull it out of the ground and throw it like a javelin.
Trivia
- They are the only members of the Subspace Army aside from Primids and R.O.B. Sentries to be seen in cutscenes.
