Grenade (enemy)

Grenade (グレネード, Gurenēdo?; グレネイド, Gureneido?; グラネイド, Guraneido?) is a recurring enemy in the series. It is a more powerful version of the Bomb, but is generally near identical to the Bomb. Just like the others of the Bomb family, it typically attacks with the Self-Destruct ability, but sometimes uses abilities not found in others of the Bomb family.
