Primid
Primids are strange creatures, found in the Subspace Emissary mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They are the main troops in the Subspace Army. They come in many variations derived from the Super Smash Bros. series, such as fire-breathing ones and huge ones. Primids are very prominent in the Subspace Emissary, and each variation has a different moveset.
Sub-Species
Sword Primid
A Sword Primid is a Primid that wields a green sword similar to a Beam Sword. They are slightly more powerful than normal Primids.
Boom Primid
A Boom Primid is a type of Primid that is able to wield a yellow boomerang-like weapon that functions as both a sword and a boomerang.
Scope Primid
A Scope Primid is a type of Primid with a bazooka that fires weak, three-shot attacks and powerful, single-shot surge cannons.
Big Primid
A Big Primid is a giant Primid with stronger attacks and more HP than a normal Primid.
Metal Primid
A Metal Primid is a metallic version on a Primid in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They do not flinch to any attacks, even a Smash Attack. They also can reflect some projectiles (Like Mario's fireball). Metal Primids take less damage than a regular Primid due to their metallic state. They are tricky to catch with a Trophy Stand because of their hard-to-damage exterior and that they would run off the stage.
Fire Primid
A Fire Primid is a Primid that attacks with fire attacks. Although rare near the beginning, they become quiet common later on. Fire Primids have red "caps" and bodies, they have yellow boots and gloves. They have a brownish colored head, arms, and legs instead of a black ones. They attack by spitting a fireball or breathing out a wave of fire.
Trophy Information
Primid
The common soldier of the Subspace Army. It seems pretty harmless, but alas, it's stuffed with Shadow Bugs that leak from its forms. This Primid has no weapons--it will challenge you man-to-man. There are six different Primid types, but all of them are based on this basic form. There are also several different face types.
Sword Primid
A Primid with a sword, as the name suggests. A Sword Primid will generally attack with slashes, but that's not all! It'll also make charging stabs at you, so watch out even when you're a good distance away. It might just be because of the way its sword lights up, but doesn't it remind you of a tarmac worker at an airport?
Boom Primid
A Primid with a boomerang--hence the name. This Primid will use the boomerang to attack from afar (which is pretty much what you'd expect) and adds to its arsenal with close-quarter combat strikes. These two attack patterns may lead you to believe that it has no fun with boomerangs, but no! Boom Primids are just a little on the shy side.
Scope Primid
A bazooka-wielding Primid. A Scope Primid uses weak, three-shot attacks and powerful, single-shot surge cannons. Due to its ability to also fire at targets above its position, you can't play it safe when a Scope Primid is down below you. Probably because of the weight of its weapon, it won't use its bazooka for direct strikes.
Big Primid
The biggest Primid of all. Its attacks are the same in form and function, but considerably more powerful than a normal Primid's. Watch out for its smash attack--it will launch you far. It also has jump and roll attacks. The bigger size means an increase in Shadow Bugs--does that mean it takes more Shadow Bugs to move bigger Primids?
Metal Primid
A Primid covered from head to toe in metallic plating. It cannot be knocked around with conventional attacks due to its hard and heavy nature--we're talking ALL metal, including the frilly feather on its head. On the flip side, the weight of the metal inhibits this Primid's movements. Like a normal Primid, a Metal Primid will also rely on hand-to-hand combat.
Fire Primid
A specialized, fire-breathing Primid with two flamethrowing attacks. Primids with weapons are just normal, armed Primids, but Fire Primids are a whole new species with a whole new color. Although no more special than the others, they may feel slightly more superior with their red-hot color. Dealing with these guys in a group can be especially tricky.
Trivia
- Every time the player plays in the Subspace Emissary, the eyes of the Primid are always different.
