TAUNT: Flail

SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--Has HP instead of damage %.
--Somehow melts into Mr. Game & Watch after defeat.
--The only boss that can damage itself without a player using a reflecting item/move.
--Sonic's Homing Attack will always target the pink side.
--Sometimes fires off one last Vacuum Spin in its death animation; this can't officially KO anymore, but it can inflict carryover damage in Boss Battles mode.
--You can stand on top of it, but this won't provide any protection from attacks (& in fact makes Jump Crash an instant kill).
--There are no button commands to execute Spin or Triple Slash if you hack Duon to be playable.
--Wheels are yin yangs.

I actually though Duon was much more interesting than Galleom, both visually & mechanically. I was kinda bummed that only Galleom came back in Ultimate.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
