Eerie Jig is an attack used by some enemies in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It is a special dance that transforms Mario or one of his allies into a Scarecrow. Once turned into a Scarecrow, the affected individuals can only defend themselves and use special (Y button) abilities. It has a counterpart, called Somnus Waltz, which puts Mario and his partners to sleep. It is used by the Dollox and Puppox, but an unused enemy named Mastablasta can also use it.
