| Variant of | Napse |
An Airnapse is a more powerful version of the Napse located in Bowser's body in the Airway in the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It has a blue nucleus and a yellow coating. In battle, Airnapses will attack Mario and Luigi by throwing energy balls at them. They generally attack in the same way as their counterparts, but their attacks are faster and more powerful. They also have more defense than their cousins. They can also regenerate a fallen Airnapse if one of them dies, and they do so more often than a regular Napse. These enemies often fight with other Airnapses or with Air Cannons, Air Cheeps and Stonks. Of all the enemies in the Airway, the Airnapse is the only one that does not possess any features of the Dark Star. It is also the only one that does not have anything to do with air or gas (besides its name).
