Anuboo

Anuboos are enemies appearing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Mario and Luigi confront them in Teehee Valley after visiting Little Fungitown. Anuboos are shadowy, jackal-like enemies that wear headdresses and are completely black, except for their bright red eyes.

In the overworld, Anuboos will appear and shoot small, pink laser beams at the Mario Bros. before teleporting to another spot. In battle, Anuboos will take the shape of either Mario or Luigi and then fire a laser beam at the brother it transformed into. The attack can be dodged by jumping. Firebrand and Thunderhand attacks will heal them.

Anuboos are named after the ghost enemy Boo, and Anubis, a jackal-headed Egyptian god whom they bear some resemblance to.
