Overview
Komaytos are creatures found in the Kid Icarus series that bear a strong resemblance to Metroids. This is intentional, as the creatures were included in the first Kid Icarus as a reference to the original Metroid. In fact, Kid Icarus was developed on code originally created for Metroid. Since then, the creatures have been a staple of the Kid Icarus series.
In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Komaytos are immune to all projectile attaacks and can only be defeated with melee strikes. There also comes a humorous point in the game when Pit references the fact that they look like Metroids, only to be shushed by Viridi, who emphatically insists that their universe and the Metroid universe have nothing to do with each other.
