Fuzzy

"Meeeeork! Meork! Come and get it if you can! Nyeah, nyeah!"

- Fuzzy

Fuzzies, also called Fuzzles, are small, black furred parasitic creatures, capable of sucking away enemies' Heart Points with a bite, possessing two strabismus eyes and large teeth; despite displaying some level of intelligence and the ability to speak, Fuzzies are, for the most part, wild and uncivilized beings. Fuzzies have the ability to secrete webbing-like strands from their bodies, though this ability has largely been phased out in modern times.

''Super Mario World
Fuzzies first appeared in Super Mario World as particularly rare enemies that can't die; found circling the wire-like constructs floating in midair or blocks. Fuzzies would not directly attack Mario or Luigi and would only hit them if they got in their way. Only the ones circling around blocks could be eaten by Yoshi.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Fuzzies along with bigger versions called Mega Fuzzies reappear in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii where they are found in Worlds 7 and 9. They act the same way as they did in Super Mario World. Unlike Super Mario World, they can be defeated by being frozen and shattering the block of ice they're trapped in or blasting them with fireballs as Fire Mario.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Fuzzies appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They first appear in the Honeybloom Galaxy, moving up and down the orange poles that Mario or Luigi can climb. They are also found in the Flipsville Galaxy. They look very similar to how they did in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, though they strangely leave behind black smoke clouds as they move.

''Super Mario Adventures
In Super Mario Adventures, a Fuzzy makes a small appearance, being among the monsters sent by Bowser to attack Princess Toadstool's Castle.

Paper Mario
Fuzzies make a return appearance in Paper Mario, which reveals a large group of them inhabit the woods behind Koopa Village. Fuzzies attack as "vampires" in this series as they attack by sucking hp from Mario. When Mario first reaches Koopa Village, he will find it under attack by a horde of Fuzzies who are harassing the Koopa Troopa inhabitants of the village. After Mario defeats the apparent leader of the Fuzzies, who had stolen the Shell of Kooper, in battle, the Fuzzies promised to behave and stop attacking the village, at least, for a while.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Fuzzies first appear in Shhwonk Fortress and later, one appears as a member of the Fuzz fighting team in the Glitz Pit. They also appear in the first floors of the Pit of 100 Trials. They attack the same ways as they did in the previous games. 2 subspecies called Green Fuzzy and Flower Fuzzy is introduced in this game.

Super Paper Mario
In Super Paper Mario, Fuzzies appear as enemies on the Planet Blobule, where unlike their previous appearences, instead of sucking hp they attack other creatures by bouncing into them. The most dangerous type of fuzzy called Dark Fuzzy is introduced in this game.

''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Fuzzies appeared in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga as projectiles that were spawned by the Fuzzbush, suggesting a possible relation. Unlike other Fuzzies, these could poison Mario or Luigi. Since they were just projectiles, they weren't technically enemies in this game.
