Subspace Army

A small fraction of the Subspace Army

The Subspace Army is an evil organization made up of formless beings in the Subspace Emissary of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They are the main antagonists, led by the mysterious character, the Ancient Minister. It is later revealed that the Ancient Minister was forced to lead the army by Ganondorf, Bowser and Wario. The trio were the ones truly controlling the army and did so under the orders of Master Hand. Master Hand is later revealed to be controlled by Tabuu, the true leader of the army. The Subspace Army's main troops are a group of small shadow beings, known as Primids. Their goal was to pull the entire world into Subspace so as to destroy it. They hoped to accomplish this by using a powerful and deadly weapon known as the Subspace Bomb. The army is also in command of a large assortment of weapons and doomsday devices such as the Subspace Gunship, a flying fortress that could trap entire areas in subspace without the use of the Subspace Bomb. Petey Piranha, Porky, Ridley, his Meta form, and Bowser's Koopa Troop are also members of the Subspace Army. The creatures in the Subspace Army were created from Shadow Bugs, which originated from Mr. Game & Watch. The army also has in their possession a weapon known as the Dark Cannon, used by both Bowser and Wario to turn other characters into trophies.

Basic troops

Armank

An Armank

An Armank is an enemy hidden inside a tank-like structure. It moves on treads and has a functional construction arm capable of powerful attacks. Continuing to attack the arm destroys it, revealing the Armank's weak spot: a big green blob that controls the vehicle. Its name is a portmanteau of "armor" and "tank". It is the most powerful of the common units.

Generator

A Generator in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Template:Main-external Generators are black and purple portals which spawn up to thirty Mites to attack the player. They do not stop spawning enemies until this limit is reached or they are defeated, and do not have a health bar, unlike all other enemies, making it difficult to know how much damage is needed to destroy one at any given point.

They were not named until their later appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, where they appear in the Smash Run mode. In this mode, they can also spawn other small enemies alongside the Mites, and they give more stat boosts the sooner they are defeated.

A Nagagog

A Nagagog is a sumo wrestler-like enemy with a decorative twirl on its head and a small mouth.

As it takes more damage, it will turn into an even larger, red version of itself.

While the Nagagog is changing into a larger version of itself, it will not take damage from attacks or items. Its health decreases much faster when it is in its larger forms. It attacks like a wrestler, jumping on top of the player. Its attack is a body slam that damages players in proportion to its body size. If players are quick with attacks, however, they may defeat Nagagogs before they have a chance to reach full size.
