Plutons are land-bound versions of [[Pluton Fly|Pluton Flies]], and are more difficult to evade. Their erratic movements are hard to predict as they can jump high or low, fast or slow. This enemy is invincible and [[Pit]] must be careful to avoid contact, lest Pluton steal one of his weapons. Anything stolen by Pluton can be bought back at a [[Store|Black Marketeer]] or earned again in a [[Sacred Training Chamber]]. | |||
====Manual Description==== | |||
''A robbing ogre. Watch out! He's crafty. Touch him and he steals one of your possessions. Pit's arrows don't work against him. He's so stingy. He sells what he's stolen to the black marketeer.'' | |||
Plutons typically appear in the Overworld levels. | Plutons typically appear in the Overworld levels. | ||

The Pluton makes a return in ''Uprising'', although this time they can be killed before they get away. They also inflict a small amount of damage when they steal an item, but the amount of damage inflicted is minimal compared to the majority of Pit's foes. If Pit can manage to defeat the Pluton before escaping, he will get his stolen weapon or [[power]] back. Their [[Pluton Fly|winged cousins]] do not make an appearance however. | The Pluton makes a return in ''Uprising'', although this time they can be killed before they get away.

''This thief steals items from its victims and tries to dash away before it gets caught. The Underworld Army is willing to overlook these crimes because of Pluton's fighting power--and because evil is sort of what the Underworld Army does.'' | |||

It's more likely, however, that this creature was named after [[wikipedia:Pluto (mythology)|Pluto]], the Roman god of the underworld, the Roman equivalent to [[Hades]]. Unlike Hades, Pluto was depicted by the Romans to be wealthy and own many precious metals and stones. This likely inspired the Pluton's thieving nature for precious items. | ||
