Fliprus

Flipruses are a type of enemy found in New Super Mario Bros. U. They are pink walrus-like creatures with yellow goggles and blue-and-white striped tails. They create snowballs and launch them at the players. They appear in the secret level Fliprus Lake and World Coin-7. They behave very similarly to Snow Spikes, but they launch their snowballs up much higher. Plus, their snowballs can be jumped on.

In New Super Luigi U, they appear as more common enemies. They appear in Fliprus Floes and Hammerswing Hangout.

They reappear in Mario Party 10 in Ice Slide, You Slide as an obstacle that needs to be slid under.

Trivia

 * The enemy resembles the walrus enemies from the cancelled game Super Mario's Wacky Worlds.
