Electro Swoosh

Electro Swoosh is a type of enemy in EarthBound, appearing in. It resembles a pair of eyes and can use electric shock attacks and also greet Ness.

It is based on the various floating eye enemies from the Magicant of EarthBound Beginnings being the Watcher, Dadseyes, Momseyes, Foureyes, and Groucho, all of whom are respectively called the Swoosh, Papa Swoosh, Swooshette, Woosh Swoosh, and Bonus Swoosh in the Famicom version. The Electro Swoosh's "greeting" Ness is also similar to how a Groucho says hello before it walks away. Oddly, the Player's Guide states that using PSI Freeze against it is effective but neither Paula or Poo can legitimately go to Magicant.

EarthBound Player's Guide description
"This enemy believes in shock treatment, but if you use Freeze against it, it won't have time to charge itself up."
