Daphnes (ダフネ Dafune) are Underworld enemies that debuted in the original Kid Icarus.

Physical Appearance

In the original Kid Icarus, the Daphne appears as a large, green and yellow flower with thorns on the tip of each petal.

In Uprising, it appears as a small flower creature with orange petals on its head, two leaves for arms, and a pair of small legs. Though it initially seems to have a face with blank white eyes, its true face lies hidden within its petals, where it has black eyes attached to blue eyestalks, a gaping hole from which it spews its bombs from, and three blue tendrils underneath.
