Pupdozers[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. These dinosaur-like creatures appear exclusively in Flipsville Galaxy ("Flip-Flopping in Flipsville" only). They usually patrol a small area. Mario or Luigi can defeat them only by using grates to flip them over, causing the weak spot on their bellies to be exposed. Pupdozers are reptilian in appearance; they have a row of purple spikes on their backs, short tails, yellow underbellies with Ground Pound symbols, and brown backs. Their leader is a giant Pupdozer called Glamdozer. Defeating them yields a coin.
