Komayto

Komayto is a small variant of Metroid only featured in the Kid Icarus series, in which it debuts in the first Kid Icarus. A Komayto is a light blue, semi-translucent, gelatinous creature with three pink-red spheres in the center, vein-like fibers connecting from the spheres to the surface of their skin, and two sets of mandibles located near the bottom.

Kid Icarus
In Kid Icarus, Komaytos are encountered in Skyworld, where they appear in groups of four. They use the same attack patterns as Monoeyes and Micks. Komaytos attack Pit by ramming into him in groups of four.

Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
In Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, Komaytos are encountered in the Skyworld Tower. They were drastically redesigned to appear more blob-like and have only a single protrusion on top of their body. The instruction booklet artwork instead shows the protrusion on the bottom of Komayto.

Kid Icarus: Uprising
In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Komaytos were redesigned to resemble their appearance in the first Kid Icarus. Komaytos behave like regular Metroids in that they latch on to Pit to drain him of his energy. They are invulnerable to ranged attacks, but can still be defeated using melee attacks. Like the other enemies, Komayto have their own collectible Idol

In a conversation with Viridi in Chapter 21: The Chaos Vortex, Pit notes that a Komayto resembles a Metroid. He is then silenced by Viridi, who breaks the fourth wall by stating that their game universe and the Metroid universe has nothing to do with one another, and tells Pit to not spread rumors.

There is a variant of Komayto named Cellular Komayto, which is only encountered in Chapter 23: Lord of the Underworld.
