Viridi (ナチュレ, Nature) is the Goddess of Nature from the Kid Icarus series. She is known for having a strong hatred for all humans, due to the actions of some harming the forests and wildlife of the planet, in addition to the Underworld Army, due to their complete disregard for life. When introduced, she is an antagonist who commands the "Forces of Nature", her army of troops made up of organic materials. Her goal is to eradicate humans for damaging the ecosystem, and does so by using Reset Bombs that cause mass destruction before overgrowing the area of impact. After Pit escapes his seal from the Chaos Kin, Viridi gives Pit the Power of Flight in the same way Palutena does and assists him in his mission of freeing Palutena from the Chaos Kin's mind control.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Viridi's appearance on the Reset Bomb Forest.

The Reset Bomb Forest stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS depicts a battle between human nations from Kid Icarus: Uprising. After a minute has elapsed, Viridi appears in the background, far away from the stage, yells "The world is better off without you!" and drops a Reset Bomb, triggering the stage's transformation into an overgrown ruin.

Viridi commenting on Link in the Wii U version of Smash 4.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Viridi appears alongside Palutena in several of Pit's Smash Taunt to remark on other fighters. These conversations reuse her various portraits from Kid Icarus Uprising.

Viridi also makes a brief voiced cameo in Palutena's reveal trailer, describing how "angels only talk big".

Trophy information

Viridi's trophy is exclusive to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. The name of her trophy in North American versions of the game includes her title "Goddess of Nature", while PAL regions do not.

Viridi

The goddess of nature, she believes it is her duty to return heaven and earth to their pure states, and so she labels humans as contaminants of nature that should be eliminated. She butts heads with human-protecting Palutena but hates soul-stealing Hades even more.

The Goddess of Nature - of the earth and all living things. Viridi strongly believes in natural balance, and as far as she's concerned, humans throw that balance off entirely. She hates mankind for that, and Palutena for protecting them, but at the same time, she's not exactly keen on the Underworld Army's soul harvesting, either.

Trivia

Viridi's beta appearance.

• Early builds of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS featured Viridi with roses on her headband when she appeared in the background of the Reset Bomb Forest stage. The portrait in the final game, however, lacks these roses.
