Banshee is an enemy in Ninja Gaiden (NES).
Ninja Gaiden[]
First appearing in Act 2-2, Banshees are potentially one of the most dangerous enemies in the game. As with all lobbers, they slowly lumber back and forth along their post, and attack randomly by throwing a big dagger in a random arc. Due to these random attacks, the difficulty of dealing against them fluctuates. Both their contact and dagger attacks do 1 damage, and they are best defeated using sub-weapons to work around the dagger.
Trivia[]
- In the original NES game, the enemy's design had green skin and was cast in a pink cloak, giving it a zombie-esque look which was kept in the SNES trilogy.
- However, in the PC Engine version, the design was changed to look more like a regular human in a maroon cloak, and was equipped with sickles instead.
