Auroros
Auroroses 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 be attacked, although 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. An easy way to capture an Auroros is to walk slowly towards it, with your Trophy Stand in hand, and wait for it to shoot downwards. While it struggles getting free, throw the Trophy Stand.
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
- The Auroroses may be loosely based on the bat-like enemies from the original Metroid game, since they attack in a similar manner.
