Nagagog

Nagagog (, Ngagog) is an enemy in the Subspace Emissary that is part of the Subspace Army. It first appears in the level The Battlefield Fortress.

Enemy description
Nagagogs have a spherical body with two arms and two legs and the Subspace Army's logo on their front. Their face, a flower-shaped region throughout their body, the Subspace Army's logo, and their limbs (with the exception of their hands and boot soles) are white. The rest of their body starts blue, then turns yellow, and then red as they take damage. On top of the head is a white curled hair strand.

A Nagagog will start off small and blue, but if it takes enough damage, it makes a noise and grows larger, also turning yellow in the process. Further damage will cause it to turn into an even larger version of itself with a reddish color. While the Nagagog is changing into a larger version of itself, it is immune to damage. The Nagagog cannot go back to previous forms.

A Nagagog's HP is lowered faster by attacks when it is in its larger form. It attacks like a wrestler, jumping on top of the player. It may also do a move similar to Donkey Kong's Hand Slap, but without the shockwave. The larger form the Nagagog is in, the more damage and knockback it deals, but the attack speed is slowed down, making them decidedly unthreatening for such a large enemy.

When captured using a Trophy Stand, it will show all 3 forms, regardless of which is caught. Nagagogs reference the Yokozuna rank of sumo wrestling, the highest rank possible.
