K.O.F. Units are enemies appearing in "Star Fox Guard". They are first seen in the stage "Choking on Smoke" in Corneria.
Appearance[]
K.O.F. Units slightly resemble octopuses. Their head resembles a soccer ball, while their body has spidery legs which can retract if you shoot them.
Gameplay[]
Although KOF units aren't armed, they are instead walking smoke screens. Once you hit them, their legs retract and after a 4 second detonation fuse expires, they explode in a burst of pink smoke. They aren't dangerous if you shoot them well outside the base perimeter, but if they get inside or even reach the core, they will allow other bots to move freely inside the smoke screen. Make sure you don't let that happen. Their low stamina and slow speed (which are both rendered as 1 in the bestiary) also make them relatively harmless away from the area.
Tip: since they retract their legs and become sphere, shoot them repeatedly to roll them as further as possible form your base perimeter.
A stronger variation of them called the B.A.M. Unit that looks similar albeit orange in colour can also be encountered. When attacked, they can damage nearby cameras and robots upon detonation.
