The Primids also appear in many different variations. Each type of Primid has its own trophy that can be collected with the use of a trophy stand.
Different variations of the Primid

- Boom Primid: A Primid that is equipped with a boomerang. It attacks both long-range and close up. It regularly throws its boomerang at the direction its facing the player.
- Fire Primid: A Primid that is red in color. Its attacks are all fire-based.
- Metal Primid: A type of Primid whose whole body is encased in metal. It can sustain more damage than a normal Primid. It also does not flinch and can reflect some projectiles.
- Sword Primid: A Primid that is equipped with a sword similar to the Beam Sword. It attacks by using its sword rather than landing punches.
- Scope Primid: A Primid that is equipped with a weapon similar to the Super Scope. It can be found on higher areas or longer distance and fire projectiles from its weapon.
Moveset
- Rapid Punch - Similar to Kirby's Vulcan Punch, this move hits multiple times and can trap Smashers. The number of punches never changes, so a player can attack from behind once it's started.
- Triple Combo - Similar to Mario's combo, a Primid can punch twice and then follow up with a kick. The two punches deal no knockback, while the kick can KO at higher percents.
- Faceplant - Similar to Dedede's dash attack, the Primid trips and slides forwards.
- Smash Punch - A Primid's smash attack. This move involves the Primid winding up and launching a powerful punch that KOs well. Despite its looks, it does not do fire damage.
- Spear Jump - While Primids can jump onto platforms, they can also crouch down for a second and launch themselves upwards, damaging characters in the way. This attack does not go straight up.
Trophy description
Primid Trophy
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.
Trivia
- There are many different faces that a Primid can have. The faces change each time Adventure Mode is loaded up.
