| “ | Rockets with cute faces, Skuds take a short flight toward you and try to land on you. You can easily dodge them when they're in flight.” |

Skud is an exploding enemy in the Kirby series that only appears in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
Physical Appearance
Skud looks like a white rocket with a red top and feet and a happy face (not to be confused with Bang-Bang or Pedo). When he launches, his eyes and mouth disappear and his feet become wings. Skud somewhat resembles Tick.
Games
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Skud makes his only appearance in a Kirby title in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. When Kirby comes forward near it, Skud launches itself upward and sails through the air towards Kirby and plummets in Kirby's direction with poor aim. When inhaled, Skud grants the Bomb ability when inhaled.
Etymology
Skud's name is a reference to the Scud missiles developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Trivia
- Bang-Bang’s movement and attack pattern are almost exactly derived from Skud.
