Pelicrump

Pelicrumps are bird-like creatures that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

Pelicrumps are often seen stationary from a distance in the field. However, when the Bros. get closer, the birds will fly towards them and try to engage Mario in a battle. While in battle, Pelicrumps usually appear in groups of ten or more. One of their attacks is flying upwards while carrying an egg. The egg will need to be hammered away once dropped on Mario. Occasionally, when there are more Pelicrumps, two eggs are dropped on Mario. Another attack involves the Pelicrump carrying a bomb. The bird will come near Mario and try to throw the bomb near him, which needs to be countered with a hammer. If Mario looks at the Pelicrump, it will hide the bomb behind its back and throw it when Mario looks away. If looked at long enough, the bomb will explode and damage the enemy. Pelicrumps also sometimes carry Bob-ombs in their beaks. Once the Pelicrump holding the bomb inside its beak is defeated, the bomb explodes and damages all adjacent creatures. If several are present they will initiate a chase sequence with a group pursuing whilst holding a Zeekeeper statue in order to crush Mario and others dropping logs from the front to stop Mario. Mario will be caught by the statue unless he jumps on the logs to escape.
