Auroros

An Auroros (, Aroaros) is a bird-like enemy in The Subspace Emissary which first appears in The Lake level. 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 attack, and 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. The distance that Auroroses fly increases with easier difficulty levels. Auroroses will eventually free their beak from the ground after a few seconds unless picked up and thrown.

Name origin
Auroros' name is based on the word aurora, describing the vibrant colors around its feathers.
