This week, let's cover the six rival bounty hunters going up against Samus in Metroid Prime Hunters. First is Noxus, an ice alien similar to Rundas and an overzealous law enforcement officer seeking the ultimate power in order to keep it out of the hands of others with wicked intentions. So, after Samus, arguably the most "good"/least dangerous to get ahold of it. (Assuming he doesn't start using it in a totalitarian manner).

Noxus: Judicator, Vhoscythe, shield of ice, arm attack

Like all hunters in the game, Noxus has a signature weapon and some form of transformation that lets him get through tight spaces like the Morph Ball. His weapon is called the Judicator, which shoots an icy blast that freezes opponents. His transformation is called the Vhoscythe, which basically lets him curl up into a spinning top shape. He can extend his arm during this to attack, and he can also protect himself with a shield of ice.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Judicator

He will fire his Judicator weapon and freeze an opponent solid.

Side B: Vhoscythe Arm

He will spin forward into his Vhoscythe form, extending his arm out and striking an opponent hard.

Up B: Vhoscythe Spin

He will spin rapidly into his Vhoscythe form, the spin taking him up into the air a little.

Down B: Ice Shield

He will protect himself with an ice shield for a moment.

Final Smash: Final Judgment

This one more expands on his role and intention. Basically he will fire his Judicator, freezing an opponent in ice and triggering a cutscene where he pronounces judgment upon the opponent and the ice shatters.

Entrance: He will start the battle with the Hunters' starting animation.

Taunts: Up, he will raise the Judicator into the air and pump it. Side, he will show his people's badge of authority. Down, he will spin as the Vhoscythe for a second.

Kirby Hat: The top of his head.

Kart: Based on the Vhoscythe.

Special Move: He will start spinning really fast, and dealing damage to those in the nearby area.

Spirit Battle: On Celestial Archives, with an icy floor.

Victory Screen: His victory pose from Hunters.

Losing Screen: His defeat animation from Hunters.

Color Swaps: His normal colors, a lighter blue color, a red color, a green color, a yellow color, a black color, a pink color, and a Rundas-based color scheme.
