'''Shymores''', originally known as '''Shysters''', are small artificial beings resembling [[Shy Guy]]s that hop on sword-tipped pogo-sticks named Shyhoppers. They appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. Shymores attack by jumping on top of their opponents. Additionally, Shymores can use the weak attack [[Hot Shot]] to shoot a small fireball at opponents. Shymores can be easily defeated with [[Thunderbolt (move)|lightning magic]]. During [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]]'s battle with [[Claymorton]], the boss summons four Shymore [[Bodyguard]]s to aid him in the fight.


A '''Shyster''' also known as '''Pogo Stick Guy''' is a mechanical [[Shy Guy]] that hops on a sword-tipped pogo-stick. They appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and work for the [[Smithy Gang]]. Shysters formed the bulk of [[Mack]]'s forces during his invasion of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. After Mack conquers the peaceful kingdom, the Shysters are allowed to terrorize the townsfolk as they please.
Shymores are soldiers that work for the [[Smithy Gang]] and seem to love nothing more than hopping around all day long. During Claymorton's invasion of [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]], the Shymores terrorize the townsfolk.


A Shyster attacks by jumping on top of his opponent with his sword-tipped pogo-stick. Additionally, Shysters have limited proficiency in magic. As such, Shysters can use the weak fire-based attack [[Drain]] to shoot a small fireball at opponents. Shysters can be easily defeated with lightning magic, but they don't give out coins or experience points. During [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]]'s battle with Mack, the knife monster summoned four Shyster Bodyguards. These Shysters are as strong as regular Shysters, except that they don't give out experience points or coins. However, they still can be defeated with lighting magic. Shysters seem  love nothing more than hopping around all day long.
After Mario's penultimate fight with [[Smithy]], a Shymore, 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 (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]] from falling apart, as the foundation was only built yesterday. 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]]. Shyster bodyguards are also one of the few generic enemies made into [[Machine Made]]s. Shy Guys riding pogo-sticks also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. However, these Shy Guys took advantage of normal-tipped pogo sticks rather than the seemingly stronger sword-tipped ones.


== Trivia ==
Several stronger varieties of Shymores exist, including the [[Springer]] and the [[Shyper]], as well as the [[Machine Made]] version of Bodyguard.
*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 official ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' strategy guide placed an image of a Shyper where a Shyster should have been.
Its original name "Shyster", is a pun on "Shy Guy" and possibly "shyster", a slang term meaning "conman". The pun is altered in the remake to where it now references the sword type known as "claymore".
