The Primids are enemies that appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's story mode, The Subspace Emissary. They are members of the Subspace Army and minions for the Ancient Minister. Primids are formed from Shadow Bugs extracted from Mr. Game & Watch.
There are several types of Primid, each one with his own special abilities. A Trophy of each type of Primid can be obtained by tossing a Trophy Stand at one when its health has been lowered. The Primid are unarguably the most simple enemies in the game, though play a large role in the story.
Some of the Primid types in the game consists of the likes of:
Fire Primid
The Fire Primid have the ability to breathe fire as if they were in possession of a Superspicy Curry or a Fire Flower. Like most Primid, they commonly attack in a group. They understandably have a red hot color and emit a purple aurora from their bodies.
- "A specialized, fire-breathing Primid with two flamethrowing attacks. Primids with weapons are just normal, armed Primids, but Fire Primids are a whole new species with a whole new color. Although no more special than the others, they may feel slightly more superior with their red-hot color. Dealing with these guys in a group can be especially tricky." - Trophy description
Boom Primid
- "A Primid with a boomerang--hence the name. This Primid will use the boomerang to attack from afar (which is pretty much what you'd expect) and adds to its arsenal with close-quarter combat strikes. These two attack patterns may lead you to believe that it has no fun with boomerangs, but no! Boom Primids are just a little on the shy side." - Trophy description
Sword Primid
- "A Primid with a sword, as the name suggests. A Sword Primid will generally attack with slashes, but that's not all! It'll also make charging stabs at you, so watch out even when you're a good distance away. It might just be because of the way its sword lights up, but doesn't it remind you of a tarmac worker at an airport?" - Trophy description
Scope Primid
- "A bazooka-wielding Primid. A Scope Primid uses weak, three-shot attacks and powerful, single-shot surge cannons. Due to its ability to also fire at targets above its position, you can't play it safe when a Scope Primid is down below you. Probably because of the weight of its weapon, it won't use its bazooka for direct strikes." - Trophy description
Big Primid
- "The biggest Primid of all. Its attacks are the same in form and function, but considerably more powerful than a normal Primid's. Watch out for its smash attack--it will launch you far. It also has jump and roll attacks. The bigger size means an increase in Shadow Bugs--does that mean it takes more Shadow Bugs to move bigger Primids?" - Trophy description
Metal Primid
- "A Primid covered from head to toe in metallic plating. It cannot be knocked around with conventional attacks due to its hard and heavy nature--we're talking ALL metal, including the frilly feather on its head. On the flip side, the weight of the metal inhibits this Primid's movements. Like a normal Primid, a Metal Primid will also rely on hand-to-hand combat." - Trophy description
Trophy information on a standard Primid
- "The common soldier of the Subspace Army. It seems pretty harmless, but alas, it's stuffed with Shadow Bugs that leak from its forms. This Primid has no weapons--it will challenge you man-to-man. There are six different Primid types, but all of them are based on this basic form. There are also several different face types."
