	Log in to remove this sponsored message We've discussed our favourite and least favourite enemies of SS in the general sense, but to be more specific for a moment what about the design of enemies? Did any enemy have a particular design that made you thought "that's clever" or something aesthetically appealing? Or maybe you feel an enemy could've been designed better? The Technoblin always comes to my mind first. I just find their futuristic look, which existed in the past, to be fascinating and my favourite variation of the Bokoblin. Also thought that Staldra was interesting for both the mythological influence and the way their heads move and the need to defeat all three at once just makes the whole "you have to swing at the right time and in the right direction" action a bit more interesting. ------------------- MH3U < Wii U Community > Trine 2 GameGrep - Video Game News

	Let me see, the Skulltula, almost misspelling it as Skulltuna, comes to my mind first. They guys never fail to impress me with their intimidating appearances. In this game, their brown and yellow color theme lived up to expectations as well. Their legs look much sharper than before, quickly giving me that intimidating feeling. -------------------

	Yeah, I thought they had a really cool design - well, except that weak spot you have to jab which frustrated me to no end. But having them on the ground, dangling and hanging on webs in relation to how to beat them like using the Beetle definitely made them fun in the end. ------------------- MH3U < Wii U Community > Trine 2 GameGrep - Video Game News

	That jabbing spot. I remember that I used to swing at the Skulltula, thus making it spin around mindlessly, just to get to the weak spot. How well that went. Then I found the Beetle and was like "Okay, this makes much more sense than before." -------------------

	Another enemy design that I like in particular is the Lizalfos. They look like actual lizard warriors this time around and they certainly play the part very well. The way that they use their stone gauntlet for a shield is a creative feature that reminds me of Byrne. Using their tail as a mace caught my attention the most; I thought that was pretty cool as well. Spoiler:Just because -------------------

	The Lizalfos design did so much good for them. Don't get me wrong, TP made the big transition from the OoT design. But their new design in SS, largely inspired by the MotionPlus controls, really made them a fun and memorable enemy. They actually take some effort to defeat and rather than just run away will stand and have a good bash. And to note, I also liked how there was one scene with two of them that is a reference to the encounter with them in OoT. ------------------- MH3U < Wii U Community > Trine 2 GameGrep - Video Game News

	Giving enemies a slight character development = thumbs up. And if that design isn't cool enough, just check out the Dark Lizalfos! ------------------- MH3U < Wii U Community > Trine 2 GameGrep - Video Game News

	It is kind of awkward that they start the battle by walking up close to you. It makes everyone in a vulnerable state to be attacked in. -------------------

	Makes them more awesome. Also, the Dark Lizalfos can curse you and stop you using your equipment temporarily which is even more epic. ------------------- MH3U < Wii U Community > Trine 2 GameGrep - Video Game News

	Starting the battle in a vulnerable state makes them more awesome? They are also faster with their counterattacks than the regular Lizalfos, naturally. Their speed alone makes them a worthy opponent to go against. That breath attack does indeed cause trouble if hit by it. -------------------

	I think we're looking at this from two different sides. The Armos design seems worth a mention; it incorporates usage of the Gust Bellows of all things and having to hit both weak points, which usually you won't get in one go. Although I do feel sorry for them, as you can stand in a doorway and be fine. ------------------- MH3U < Wii U Community > Trine 2 GameGrep - Video Game News

	What side are you on? I was just saying that they are not more awesome because of starting the battle in a vulnerable state, in response to you saying that makes them more awesome. I consider the Armos to be neutral enemies in Skyward Sword, since they can only attack and be activated with the use of a Timeshift Stone. Their two-faced structure is hilarious. -------------------

	I actually thought it was good for the Lizalfos. x3 The closer they are, the better for them really. Having enemies come back to life through the Timeshift Stones is an awesome design element, just to add. It's cool seeing a pile of bones suddenly turn back into a walking, breathing enemy. ------------------- MH3U < Wii U Community > Trine 2 GameGrep - Video Game News
