-'''Calorites''' are fiery monsters found inside the [[Flab Zone]] of [[Bowser's body]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. They will use the two logs in their hands to increase the power of their flames, and then the Calorite will begin rolling while shooting flames at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. This attack can be avoided if the heroes simply jump over the flames. If they are hit by this attack, they might get a burn and lose a few turns, unable to dodge or [[counterattack]]. The number of times the Calorite rolls is based on the amount of times the logs are tossed into their fire. Calorites are also able to eat [[Tenderling]]s and turn them into additional Calorites. They can be attacked by using a [[hammer]] and all [[Bros. Attack]]s except [[Jump Helmet]], [[Spin Pipe]], and [[Magic Window]]. If they jump or use any of the aforementioned Bros. Attacks, they will lose one HP and forfeit their turn. In the remake, if [[Fire Flower]] is used, they will be healed.
+'''Calorites''' are fiery enemies found inside the [[Flab Zone]] of [[Bowser's body]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. They are named after the [[wikipedia:calorie|calorie]], which is the measurement of heat used to gauge the energy content of food. They will use the two logs in their hands to increase the power of their flames, and then the Calorite will begin rolling while shooting flames at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. This attack can be avoided by jumping over the flames. If Mario or Luigi are hit by this attack, they might get [[burn]]ed and lose a few turns, unable to dodge or [[counterattack]]. The number of times the Calorite rolls is based on the amount of times they toss the logs into their fire. Calorites are also able to eat [[Tenderling]]s and turn them into additional Calorites. Due to their heads being on fire, they are immune to [[jump]]s and any attempt at doing so will harm Mario and Luigi; they must be attacked using [[hammer]]s or any [[Bros. Attack]] that does not involve jumping.
+Oddly enough, despite being fire-based enemies, Calorites take damage from the [[Fire Flower]] Bros. Attack in the original game (although they do take reduced damage from it); in the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]], they are healed instead.

 ==Trivia==
 *The Calorite is the only regular enemy in the game that can inflict the [[Burn]] status ailment on Mario and Luigi.
-*The fire and burning powers of the Calorite reference the real life [[wikipedia:calorie|calorie]], which is measurement of heat used to gauge the energy content of food.
+*The Calorite could be a reference to the [[Blazing Shroob]] and red [[Oho Jee]] enemies from the [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|previous]] [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|games]] as the three have rapidly moving legs and fire on their heads.
-*Unlike most fire enemies in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, the Calorites are not immune to fire and they take damage from Mario and Luigi's [[Fire Flower#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Fire Flower]] attack. This is changed in the remake, where they get healed from the Bros. Attack.
-*The Calorite could be a reference to the [[Oho Jee]] and [[Blazing Shroob]] enemies from the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|previous]] [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|games]] as the three have rapidly moving legs and both have fire on their heads.
