Gloomba

Gloombas are blue Goombas that appear in the Paper Mario series. Gloombas live deep underground, in areas such as Toad Town Tunnels and the Pit of 100 Trials. They are much more powerful than their surface-dwelling cousins. A Gloomba gets its blue hue from living without sunlight.

Gloombas may be based off the dark-colored Goombas Mario encounters in the underground levels of Super Mario Bros.; however, those Goombas are colored blue to represent the lack of sunlight.
