| '''Gunyolk''' is a large mechanical monster created by the [[Factory Chief]], one of the most important members of the [[Smithy Gang]], and appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The mechanical creature is used as a weapon in an attempt by the [[Factory Chief]] to defeat [[Mario]] and his allies. In fact, Gunyolk and the Factory Chief are the last enemies that are standing between Mario's group and the leader of the Smithy Gang, [[Smithy]]. It resembles a heavily armored combination of a locomotive and a tank with a large vat of molten metal in the back. | | '''Gunyolk''' is a large mechanical monster created by the [[Factory Chief]] and appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

| Gunyolk is by far the greater threat; every 2nd turn, it will unleash the deadly [[Breaker Beam]], previously used by the [[Axem Rangers]]; unlike them, however, Gunyolk does not need to waste turns recharging after using it. Breaker Beam will easily do close to or over 100 damage to the entire party. On odd-numbered turns, Gunyolk will choose from a pair of attack pools. The first has a 33% chance of using [[Echofinder]], which hits one character for 1.5x the damage of its normal attack and inflicts [[Mute (status effect)]], and will use a normal attack otherwise; the second pool has a 66% chance of using the Fire-attribute [[Mega Drain]] to inflict moderate magic damage, and a 33% chance of using the Thunder-attribute [[Electroshock]], which can inflict even more magic damage. | | Gunyolk uses the [[Breaker Beam]] every 2nd turn, which was previously used by the [[Axem Rangers]]; unlike them, however, Gunyolk does not need recharge after using it.

| Unusually for a boss, especially for one at the end of the game, Gunyolk has no resistance to status ailments whatsoever. If [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] is in the active party, she can use [[Mute (move)|Mute]] to inflict Mute on the machine, eliminating its more dangerous attacks, including Breaker Beam. She can also use [[Sleepy Time]] to put it to [[sleep]], rendering it incapable of any action until it wakes up; if this is done, magic should be the party's primary source of damage, as physical attacks will awaken a sleeping target. If [[Bowser]] is in the active party, he can use [[Terrorize]] to inflict [[Fear]] on the Gunyolk and [[Factory Chief]], reducing the damage they inflict and increasing the damage they take. A [[Fright Bomb]] can also be used for the same effect. Aside from status ailment abuse, Gunyolk is weak to Ice and Thunder, so Mallow's [[Snowy]] and [[Shocker (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Shocker]] are capable of dealing massive damage.
