Komayto

"The last Komaytos is not in captivity, Skyworld is not at peace."

- Komayto idol description

The Komayto is an airborne enemy from Kid Icarus. They appear in the Skyworld area in the first Kid Icarus and in the Sky Tower in Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters. They are unmistakably similar to the Metroids, and it is also implied that they are from another world. There is a subspecies of the species known as a Cellular Komayto.

Etymology
The word Komayto comes from the Japanese word Kometo, short for Kometoroido, which translates as Metroid Child.
