Bloop, also known as Flying Creatures[1], is a flying reptilian-like enemy in Star Fox Adventures. Bloops have large wings that appear to be based on those of a bat's. Bloops appear in ThornTail Hollow, Moon Mountain Pass, Volcano Force Point Temple, and some Krazoa Shrines. Like most enemies, Bloops usually respawn shortly after being defeated.
When a Bloop notices Fox, it makes a malicious laugh, swoops at him, and attempts to latch on Fox and scratch him with his talons. It attacks Fox by scratching him with its claws. Fox can easily defeat Bloops with a single strike from the Staff or the Fire Blaster.
After Fox has delivered the third SpellStone via the Volcano Force Point Temple, several Bloops are attacking the ThornTails (excluding the Mother ThornTail). There are three Bloops flying over each of the six ThornTails. The Bloops are flying out of Fox's reach, so he must use his Fire Blaster to defeat each one. After defeating all 18 Bloops, the ThornTails reward Fox with a Large Scarab Bag.
