Notable members

Lanceurs are variants of Gushen appearing in Super Mario Odyssey. They are large octopuses with big heads and spiked tentacles that can float and shoot shells from their mouths. Their method of attack is shooting shells directly at Mario, which can be explosive shells that travel at a slower speed and fall quickly, or drill-like cone shells that are fast and do not fall. Their weak spot is their head, on which Mario can perform a Ground Pound or use the jet of a Gushen to damage them. Only a member of Lanceurs appears in the entire game, along with a variant. Mollusque-Lanceur is a giant Lanceur who is the count of Bubblaine. He has blue tentacles and a purple head. Mollusque-Lanceur is also capable of generating lava on his head and spinning quickly. Astro-Lanceurs are, as their name indicates, space variants of Lanceurs that appear in the Moon Kingdom. They have white bodies with blue eyes and an astronaut helmet on their heads .
