Puruton

First Appearance: Kid Icarus (1986) Latest Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012) Affiliation(s): Medusa Enemy Type: Grounded

Plutons (プルトン Puruton) are land-bound versions of Pluton Flies, and are actually more difficult to dodge. 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 Black Marketeer or earned again in a Sacred Training Chamber. Plutons are only encountered in the Overworld.

Sticky Talon fills in for the Pluton in Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and has its own page.

Characteristics

Pluton is a hairy fellow in a voluminous robe and carrying a sack of presumably stolen goods. Though armed with fangs, horns, and claws, he's more interested in Pit's belongings than actual harm. Plutons are some of Angel Land's most hated creatures due to their mischievous demeanor and greed. When one strikes, it will not only cause damage, but it will likely result in a humiliating loss of possessions. After doing so, the thief will continuously evade their victim once they have something to show for their troubles. Due to being among the Underworld’s most humanoid beings, they have hands suitable for climbing as well as large feet that grant them exceptional jumping ability. In addition, some Plutons are even equipped with small but functional wings that allow them to fly. They tend to prefer the wide open desert areas as their home, as well as other rural locations of the Overworld.

Appearances

Kid Icarus

"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."

Kid Icarus: Uprising

The Pluton was confirmed to be returning as an enemy via its official AR Card. It seems to be skinnier compared to its previous appearances, and it will reprise its role as a thief that can steal Pit's items and Powers to sell back to the shop, although this time they can be killed before they get away. To emphasize their thieving ways, Plutons now have oversized hands and elongated arms that allow them to steal from their targets more effectively.

Trivia

• Literally, a Pluton, or plutonic rock, is a geological term describing an intrusive igneous rock made of crystallized magma. It's more likely, however, that this creature was named after Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld (not that Underworld), known as Hades in Greek Mythology.
