Duon is a boss that is encountered late in The Subspace Emissary. It doesn't hail from any particular series and is unique to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though it does bear a slight resemblance to Dialga and Palkia and may be a visual reference to them.
Creature Description
Duon is a two-sided robot on one set of wheels; one half being pink and possessing a head cannon and two arm cannons (similar to Samus Aran), and the other half being blue with a curved blade on its head tipped in light blue. Both sides have shoulder exhaust pipes in which rockets can be fired from (as well as their arm cannons). A character who gets behind Duon can trick it into blowing itself up with its own rockets. It rotates 180 degrees to change its attack strategy. The wheels it pivots on are the yin and yang symbols from Chinese belief, symbolizing balance and juxtaposition of two forces.
Role in the SubSpace Emissary
After Snake, Meta Knight and Lucario kick all of the Mr. Game & Watches off of the Halberd's bridge, they dissolve into Shadow Bugs, which form into Duon. Duon is a large robot with two upper bodies protruding from its base. One of these bodies has a blade for a head, while the other has a laser. When one head takes damage, it turns 180 degrees and presents its other head. It is fought by Snake, Lucario, Fox, Sheik, Peach, and Falco.
Trophy Info
A robot with two upper bodies sharing one set of wheels. The blue-bodied half uses sword attacks, while the pink one uses lasers from its head and arms for offensive power. Whichever side is facing you will attack. Duon also threatens with homing missiles and the blade on top of the blue half.
Trivia
- Duon's bodies feature the same color schemes as Palkia and Dialga.
- Duon's name comes from the English word duo, which means two, referring to Duon's two sides.
- The wheel at the base shows the yin and yang symbols, depicting the differences between them, one using melee weapons whereas the other uses longer range weapons.
