Magmad

Magmads are volcano-shaped enemies composed of magma that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the field, Magmads engulf themselves in flames and chase after Mario and Dreamy Luigi upon sight, stopping after exhausting itself, where it can then be easily hit with a First Strike briefly. If not disturbed, Magmads wander around aimlessly.

In battle, Magmads cannot be jumped on due to their flaming heads. Magmads usually appear in battle with their colder counterparts, Iceads, and thus often attack together. Magmads (usually with Iceads) can attack by approaching Mario from the front and back sides of him and forming a stack on either or both sides if there are more than two enemies involved in the attack. The Magmads and Iceads will then start firing fiery and icy blasts respectively one at a time at Mario, who must jump over the ground level blasts and idle under higher level blasts in order to avoid taking damage. If a fiery blast misses Mario, it will continue on to hit whatever is straight ahead if anything, damaging Iceads and healing Magmads.

Magmads (usually with Iceads) can also attack by making itself liquid and oozing to one of Mario's unoccupied four sides, up to four enemies being involved in this attack. Occasionally, one of them will stick part of its head out before to re-solidifying itself and firing either a fiery or icy blast at Mario. He must keep facing and hammering the Magmad or Icead who sticks their head out until the attack ends to avoid taking damage.

A Magmad may also individually approach Mario and charge into him while engulfed in fire, repeating this several times as it goes back and forth. Mario must jump over the Magmad before it hits him to avoid taking damage. Occasionally during this attack, the Magmad's flames may extinguish and it will be vulnerable to being jumped on while in that state. The Magmad's attacks can also give Mario the burn status effect.

A Magmad can transform into an Icead if it takes damage.
