Dark Wizzerd

Dark Wizzerds are cyborg creatures encountered in the Palace of Shadow and Pit of 100 Trials in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Dark Wizzerds are floating, vaguely bean-shaped creatures purple in color with several three fingered floating hands around it, which it uses to attack foes. Dark Wizzerds can also fire energy lasers and, like Magikoopas, can create several illusions of themselves when alone. It's one of the only derived species of enemies that, being "Dark", is actually weaker than its normal form.

The laser attack can actually pierce all defenses used by Mario and his partner, including Defend Plus and Damage Dodge. However, Guards still reduce damage by 1, and Superguards avoid all damage as usual. P-Up, D-Down and P-Down, D-Up badges still have their usual effect, however, regardless of defense-piercing abilities.

When dealing with the Dark Wizzerd's clones, it's best to use Power Shell with Koops, Firey Jinx with Vivian, or any other ability that involves striking all of them at once. Multibounce won't work as Mario falls when touching the first fake clone.

Trivia

 * Dark Wizzerds are the only type of Wizzerd fought in the main story, as their normal and elite counterparts only appear in the optional Pit of 100 Trials.
 * Just like the other Wizzerd species, they will not hit other enemies if the player uses Super Hammer or Ultra Hammer.
