Vaklooms are a new enemy in Kid Icarus: Uprising, belonging to the Underworld Army. They hide in their shell and absorb Pit's shots. After absorbing enough shots, they come out of their shells and fire a powerful laser, tiring themselves afterwards and leaving themselves open to attacks. They can be damaged by attacking the hands or feet when their head is hidden in their shell; therefore, they can be defeated before coming out of their shell. They first appear in Chapter 6.
