Variants

Enigmas are enemies in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. Although an Enigma resembles a large, purple bat with what looks like a pig's snout, the monster is actually a colony of smaller bats that come together to create one larger Enigma. The large Enigma resembles the small bats that make the monster up, and can reform into different shapes, such as an arrow.

Enigmas are commonly found in the mines of Moleville. However, Enigmas do not fight by themselves; they always fight with other monsters on their side. In a battle, an Enigma fights by separating part into smaller bats and attacking the intruder. They also know the spell Echofinder which causes the Mute status ailment, preventing an opponent from using special attacks.

A variant of Enigma, known as Enigmax, can be found in the Sunken Ship.

You'd think that they get along since they always act as a team. But word is that on their off days, they do their own thing and barely even talk.
