Lakitu

Lakitus are a different species of koopa troopa, designed to have stronger lungs and be aerodynamic. They were designed specifically to be the air force of the koopa army. They have the same mental capabilities and mindset as red-shelled koopa troopas. They fly around in clouds, throwing assorted items at the heroes. They are most comonly found in Lakitu Land, a cloud island created by Kamek, which is ruled by Lakingtu Von Thunder. No lakitus have joined the MK, but Lakingtu lets his son, Lakitu Von Thunder, visit his friends in the MK.

Methods of Defeat
Several ways lakitus can be defeated are-


 * Stomp- If you can manage to get high enough to stomp a lakitu's head, it will be defeated.


 * Fireballs- See above
 * Throwing items- Throwing items such as shells or mushroom blocks up at lakitus will knock it off its cloud, killing it.

Notable Lakitus

 * Lakingtu Von Thunder

Trivia

 * The spell put on the koopas to turn them into troopas was very weak, and reversable. Kamek completely forgot about this, though. The spell used to turn troopas into lakitus, however, was more advanced, and irreversable.
