Variants

Spikelies are enemies that appear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are a blue variant of Thorb and are found in only two locations: the Lushgreen Sea Great Lighthouse Island and Merrygo Island, with the latter location having a larger-sized variant.

In the field, if a Spikely notices Mario and Luigi, it charges at them.

In battle, Spikelies spiral into Mario and Luigi in a clockwise pattern once, who must jump over them when they get near them in order to avoid taking damage. Likewise, they not only run around a Bro. and charge at them from behind, but also jump on them with their spikes. The targeted Bro. must hammer the Spikely when it gets within range to counterattack without taking damage.

Gobblick and its Glohmy form, Glohm Gobblick, can also spew Spikelies at the Mario Bros. These Spikelies must be avoided to avoid taking damage. Snaptors can bring in a Spikely for one of their attacks. It bounces over Mario and Luigi, and may join the battle afterwards.

After Reclusa's reawakening, Spikelies become infected with Glohm, becoming Glohm Spikelies.
