Spiky Parabuzzy

A Spiky Parabuzzy or a.k.a. S. Parabuzzy is a Parabuzzy and Spike Top hybird. These creatures were first seen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are mainly seen in the underground rooms in Riverside Station, and the Pit of 100 Trials at around the 41-49 floor. Since they have both wings and a spiked shell, they are tricky enemies. Mario needs a Spike Shield or a Hammer Throw badge to attack them safely. Spiky Parabuzzies lose their wings when stomped, causing them to become regular Spike Tops. In Super Paper Mario, they also appear in several locations such as the Overthere Stair or Castle Bleck. They often fly up and down, trying to block Mario's path near a pit.
