'''Limbos''' are skeletal enemies found in [[Mad Monster Mansion]]. Although their enormous heads appear to be large targets and most attacks will shatter their fragile bodies with relative ease, these undead baddies are particularly difficult to exterminate, as their bodies will reform within a few seconds of being hit.
'''Limbos''' are an enemy in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


Even so, Limbos are slow to react and can either be pushed over or completely ignored in some situations. If they prove themselves to be especially problematic, or if [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] are low on health and could use some extra [[honeycomb]]s, a quick use of the [[Wonderwing]] will put these corpses to rest once and for all.
==Characteristics==
Limbos are skeleton creatures appearing throughout [[Mad Monster Mansion]]. They behave similarly to [[Mum-mum]]s, chasing [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] once they are noticed and trying to attack them. While most attacks can temporarily knock out a Limbo, the only way to permanently defeat them is by using the [[Wonderwing]] move.

Limbos appear to resemble the Stalfos from The Legend of Zelda series.
