Lurchthorn

Lurchthorns (, Totsukotsu) are enemies from Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Origin
Lurchthorns were introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising as enemies affiliated with the Forces of Nature. They are capable of launching projectiles from their body segments, which can be destroyed individually leaving fishbone-like structures behind.

As a stage hazard
A single Lurchthorn appears in the destroyed transformation of Reset Bomb Forest, where it slowly flies by near the bottom of the screen. It damages characters that make contact with it, but will not otherwise attack characters. In this role it cannot be damaged.

In Smash Run
Lurchthorns appear as durable, large enemies which slowly fly around, shooting reflectable projectiles from the segments of their body. Each segment can be destroyed independently, but destroying the head is the only way to defeat it.

Lurchthorns are also part of the enemy waves in the Kid Icarus version of the Vs. Enemy Team final battle.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The Lurchthorn returns as a stage hazard in the returning Reset Bomb Forest stage.
