Enemy Info[]

Pookas are an old enemy of The Dig Dug aka Taizo Hori. They have the unique ability to hide themselves in the earth and solid objects yet their goggles remain visible so an eagle-eyed individual can spot them fairly easily.

Fight Pattern[]

In Smash Bros Pooka are found hiding inside of platforms and walls waiting for a player to come near. Their goggles give them away, but if you aren’t watching carefully then you’ll be caught off guard when the Pooka’s fly through the obstacle they are inside of and appear next to you on the stage.

Attacks[]

Bounce[]

When next to a player the Pooka will try and bump into them from the side and knock them around. This attack deals no damage whatsoever and is really just an annoyance as they bump you around and away from where you’re trying to go.

Inflate[]

When attack, Pooka’s will inflate as they take damage. If attacked to the point that they burst, they will hurt any fellow enemies or the player if they are too close to the Pooka. If the player stops attacking them after the Pooka has already inflated a bit, they’ll slowly start to deflate and be able to run around again.
