-A '''Shyster''', also known as '''Shymore''',<ref>Nintendo Life (November 2, 2023). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ixdvkXe20 Super Mario RPG Switch Gameplay]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved November 2, 2023.</ref> 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 [[Thunderbolt (move)|lightning magic]]. During [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]]'s battle with Mack, the boss summons four Shyster [[Bodyguard]]s to aid him in the fight.
+'''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.
-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 [[Toad Town|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 (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|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.
+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]], as well as the [[Machine Made]] version of Bodyguard.

+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".

 ==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'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] mistakenly uses the name and image of [[Shyper]] when referring to this enemy.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=110}}</ref>
