A Gamyga (ギャムギャ Gyamugya, Ghamgha in Japan) is one of the members of the Subspace Army, and first appears in the Path to the Ruins level. A Gamyga has a mask and four Gamyga bases beneath it for support. It has one attack, in which it closes its eyes and shoots three multi-color lasers toward the player's direction. Gamyga bases have two eyes on them with two small arms. The arms do not do any harm, as they provide support for the Gamyga mask.
On lower difficulties, it is easy to destroy the bases and then attack Gamyga itself. However, at higher difficulties, it becomes harder to do so with Gamyga firing its lasers immediately upon springing up. Gamyga is temporarily stunned when you attack its head, so focus on the head and prevent it from getting a chance to attack. Alternatively, its laser attack can be reflected back at it. Falcon Punch, Warlock Punch, Judgement (only on 9) and a fully charged Oil Panic can destroy all the bases in one attack. To get a trophy of it, you need to destroy the bases before you toss the Trophy Stand at its mask. A trophy stand thrown at one of its bases will disappear no matter how much HP the base has.
There is a glitch that occasionally happens when attacking many parts of the Gamyga at once. Sometimes, you will destroy every part of the Gamyga, but the bottom base will be left on the ground, still wiggling, as though ready to attack you (though it is unable, for the mask is the only part that attacks).
Trophy Description
A Subspace Army enemy that looks like an avant-garde work of art from some young art-school grad. And its size is nothing to scoff at--sitting on top of a four-level Gamyga base is a huge Gamyga mask. You can eliminate the Gamyga bases simply by beating the Gamyga mask. A Gamyga faces the screen, but it never takes its eyes off you. Ooh, spooky...in an artsy kind of way.
