Boom Stompers (ドスドス, Dosudosu) are enemies from Kid Icarus: Uprising that resemble a large seed made of rock. They appear as enemies in Smash Run in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. They walk around on two stubby legs and pound the ground with their body to crush the player. Its only attack does MASSIVE damage and causes ABSURD knockback. Not only that, but it is INSANELY hard to dodge, too! Its body does not take much damage, but the leaf on the top of its "head" is highly vulnerable to attack.

Trophy Description

NA: A giant rock bestowed with the gift of life. It usually stays still—as rocks do—but if it catches sight of you, it'll slowly move after you and try to stomp you into the ground. Its stomping also causes shock waves that will harm any fighters in the vicinity. Its weak point is the little leaf on its head!

PAL: A giant rock bestowed with the gift of life. It usually stays still, as rocks are known to do, but if it catches sight of you, it'll slowly move after you and try to stomp you into the ground. Its stomping also causes shockwaves that will harm any fighters in the vicinity. Try going for the leaf on its head - that's its weak point!

Origin

Boom Stompers in Kid Icarus: Uprising are Forces of Nature enemies that are fairly resilient to damage, slow moving, and, as in Super Smash Bros. 4, attack by slamming their body on the ground, either directly hitting the player or by affecting them with a shockwave. Both send the player flying afterwards, rendering them immobile.
