Astro-Lanceur

An Astro-lanceur, also spelled Astro-Lanceur is an octopus-like enemy appearing in Super Mario Odyssey. Only four appear in the game, three of them being found in the Moon Kingdom, and another one being a boss character fought in the Seaside Kingdom called Brigadier Mollosque-Lanceur III. These enemies are very large, flying, silver octopuses (purple in the case for Brigadier Mollosque-Lanceur III) that will spit cone shells at Mario as an attack. The top of their heads bear the outline of a light blue star; Mario can defeat this enemy with a Ground Pound to said spot.
