The Spaak (スパー, Spar in Japan) is a common enemy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary, depicted as a cloud with facial features, a battery on its back, and eight Tesla Coils. A Spaak starts off as a white cloud, which attacks by shooting slow electric spheres with low knockback. After taking a certain amount of damage, it turns into a black storm cloud, which shoots out fast lightning beams with high knockback. Both attacks can be reflected or absorbed by Ness and Lucas' PSI-Magnet. Its battery is its weak spot, taking double damage when attacked. It's normal mode is shown on the trophy, regardless of which form was caught. It appears to be based off of Kracko, a boss in the Kirby series with similar appearances and attacks. Furthermore, both were created by the same person, Masahiro Sakurai.

Name origin

Its name is a corruption of the word "spark", which relates to its electrical properties.

Trophy Description

A Subspace Army member who is mostly cloud but also reveals mechanical parts, like electrodes and batteries. In most cases, a Spaak is white and fires lightning, but it turns into a dark cloud after taking damage and chases you with fast lightning strikes. Its weak point is the battery on its back--attacking that should make it pretty easy to take down.
