SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--Has HP instead of damage %.
--Also appears as an assist trophy in regular play.
--A Mii costume of armor made from Rathalos skin is also available as DLC.
--Can be stunned by Deku Nuts, Pitfalls, Bob-ombs, & exploding Barrels. He must be hit in the face by one of these items (or run across a planted Pitfall) to be stunned, though.

Even though he's much easier to hit than a lot of the other bosses, he feels much tankier.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
