Tashrooba

The Tashrooba is a purple shroobified Tanoomba used by the Shroobs during Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Like their weaker counterparts, Tashroobas are shape-shifters. Tashroobas are found inside Shroob Castle. They are found disguising themselves as different objects and creatures, including a Toad, a 100 Gold Coin, a ? Block, and a Thwack. When approached, the Tashrooba reveals itself and attack.

Tashroobas have the same attacks as Tanoombas, except the Tashroobas' attacks are stronger and faster. Before each attack, the Tashrooba either performs a twirling jump or a normal jump. If it twirls, it will attack Luigi. If it does not twirl, it will attack Mario. After jumping, the Tashrooba either turns into a Thwomp, a balloon, or a Spiny shell. The Tashrooba jumps high before turning into a Thwomp or a balloon. If it turns into a Thwomp, the Tashrooba falls quickly and crushes its opponent. If it turns into a balloon, it falls slower and hit a Mario brother. Both of these attacks can be countered with a Hammer. If the Tashrooba turns into a Spiny shell, it spins into the Mario brother it indicated with its jump, then circle and attack the next Mario brother. The Tashrooba circles multiple times, causing damage and potentially poisoning the Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi can jump to avoid it.
