Crook

"You can't run away! Ha!"

- Crook

Crooks are hooded enemies encountered in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They are relatives to Sackits.

Mario and Mallow first encounter Crooks while traveling through Rose Way. When a Crook spots Mario in the area, the Crook attempts to run into Mario and his partner, Mallow to a battle. Though Crooks have powerful attacks (punching and throwing daggers) their defense and HP are low, a powerful timed hit being able to take them out. Crooks are often found in groups aiding other monsters in battle. Occasionally Crooks will runaway from battle.

Croco the thief also has three Crook accomplices whom Mario and co. can fight in the Moleville Mines. If these Crooks are defeated in battle they yield a Flower Tab. These three Crooks can also be seen in the end-of-parade.
