A Shyster is a small artificially created Shy Guy that hops on a sword-tipped pogo-stick. They appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Shysters attack by jumping on top of their opponents. Additionally, Shysters can use the weak attack Drain to shoot a small fireball at opponents. Shysters can be easily defeated with lightning magic. During Mario and Mallow's battle with Mack, the boss summons four Shyster Bodyguards to aid him in the fight.
Shysters are soldiers that work for the Smithy Gang and seem to love nothing more than hopping around all day long. During Mack's invasion of Mushroom Kingdom, the Shysters terrorize the townsfolk.
After Mario's penultimate fight with Smithy, a Shyster, an Aero, and a Drill Bit ask their master to calm down and to stop slamming the floor with his mallet in order to prevent the Factory from falling apart. Their efforts fail as Smithy continues to slam the foundation with his hammer, collapsing the floor and sending his minions flying away.
Several stronger varieties of Shysters exist, including the Springer and the Shyper, as well as the Machine Made version of Bodyguard.

Trivia
- Shyster's name, in addition to being a pun on "Shy Guy," is likely derived from the actual term "shyster," which really means "conman."
- The Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Player's Guide placed an image of a Shyper where a Shyster should have been and gives it the name Shyper.[1]
